Episode 12 | Writer Advice: Consume Everything

Welcome to Episode #12 of the Written in Melanin Podcast.

One of the most common things creatives are told, in any medium, is to consume the type of content you're trying to create. If you want to make movies, watch them. If you want to paint, look at paintings. If you want to write, read. Today, I'm here to add to tweak that a bit: if you want to create anything, consume everything. And I mean everything -- because knowing how other creators create will help you be a better one. Especially if they're creating something that you aren't.
