Hello! In this Minizode, Krispy and Murph discuss the various reasons people find for writing. How was writing developed, and originally used? From passion, to fame and fortune, what drives people to put words on the page (or screen)? What motivates us at Radio Freewrite as writers? How about famous writers throughout history?

We hope you have a wonderful week, with some good writing and reading throughout it!

This week the Cru had a special prompt. We wandered the halls of the Cleveland Museum of Art, seeking inspiration, and all picked different artworks to inspire our writing. Art is it's own world: listen for mysterious galleries, goblins, bad relationships, and sonnets!

And, if you get a chance, try this exercise yourself. The CMA is free, or find your nearest museum, and, with an open mind, search for something to inspire your writing!

WebEater had the night off, sort of, so he's not sure what to put in the episode description. He assumes it went off well---hunky dory?---, right guys? Guys?
