Grammar. Whether you love it or hate it, it’s a critical part of writing. The rules matter, and they’re often changing, which keeps writers on their toes and sparks grammar debates to delight the inner geek in all of us. Write-minded debuts with the most grammar-minded guest around, Mignon Fogarty (aka, Grammar Girl). In this episode, Grant and Brooke delve into perfectionism, the rules (and when to break them), and editing. And if grammar intimidates you, don’t worry, you’re still gonna love this episode.

If you sit down and write, you’re a writer. This is just one of the encouraging messages driving the new writing podcast, Write-minded: Weekly Inspiration for Writers, hosted by Brooke Warner of SheWrites.com and Grant Faulkner of NaNoWriMo.

Each episode will be focused around a theme and a guest who’s uniquely positioned to talk about that theme. Brooke and Grant bring decades of shared experience about the challenges writers face, and they have a lot of inspiration to share as a result of being in the trenches with writers, and being writers themselves.

This pilot episode introduces listeners to Brooke and Grant and their communities, and showcases what listeners can expect from this weekly podcast.
