12pt Font
by Pendo MuemaWelcome to 12pt Font a Novel Writing (NaNoWriMo) Podcast where I answer questions, conduct interviews, give advice, provide resources, gush over my favorite books, writers, and well things, and generally babble as I muddle my way through November. Strap in for 31 episodes of us holding ourselves together, and pushing each other to be better in the pursuit of the art we want to create. We can do this. I hope. Stick around, let's do this together!
