Feeling stuck? Sarah and Lindsay are your tow truck. In this episode we go for a walk in the rain and chit chat about the things creative people do to sabotage themselves. We'll also share some strategies you can use to get out of the mud, get inspired and get writing again. 

Warning and/or Bonus : Spoilers for Prodigal Son‘s Season 1, which is not an audio drama.
