Intimate Writing

Our mission here at the “CC & JT Amateur Hour” is to “help writers write,” and part of our madness is to publicly examine our creative motivations.

Vibes

Happy holidays to all who engage in joy and frivolity at this time of year which, considering the number of celebrations there are, means everyone.

Podcasting with Writers

[Crossposted from Substack.] Back when we were young and still in our 50s, we fell into podcasting with “The CC & JT Amateur Hour” during the pandemic lockdown. We started with zero production values. We logged into Spotify and talked to the microphone in an old Chromebook for twenty-something minutes. No bells, whistles, theme songs, or muchContinue reading “Podcasting with Writers”
