My group coaching programs First Draft (for writers working on their first draft) and Final Draft (for writers in the revisions process), include a weekly question and answer session and group discussion.

These are agenda-free sessions where the writers in the group are given the opportunity to discuss whatever writing-related challenges they are dealing with or topics they have on their minds.

In this week's episode of The Writing Coach podcast, I thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse behind the curtain and share with you fifty (!) different topics the group has discussed over the last two months.
