Do you fancy yourself a writer? Stuck in neutral and cannot get past the first page? Been there, done that.

Welcome to Off Grid - a podcast service for writers, would-be writers, and readers of historical and mystery/suspense fiction. It is entitled “Off Grid” for two reasons:

1.- the practice called “freewriting” is an alternative to the grid-based, outlined, and preplanned writing style we were all exposed to in school. There is a better way for those of us who cannot function like that.

2. - I have really gone “Off Grid” - sold our family home in Centralia where we raised 3 of our own, helped with grandchildren, and welcomed almost 40 foster children to our beautiful extended family. Time for a change after 25 years.

So we have gone off grid - taking to the road to discover a whole new range of experiences and intrigues.

I will be featuring ideas and excerpts from my Juno Letters and Carlisle Journal series as they relate to topics of interest. New fiction will follow, and will be debuted here.

We will keep an running account of our travels and how they relate to this writing style.

For an inspiring book on free writing, the one that caught me in its web in college years ago, check out “Writing-without-Teachers” by Professor Peter Elbow ). [This is an unsolicited recommendation]

In the near future the podcast will become a for-fee service, but for now they remain free. Once the serve is set up, your one-time subscription will include ebook copies of all 14 books in my Juno Letters series. For audio, paperback, and hard cover versions, visit junoletters.us for links into the Amazon sites.

Have fun.

I’m L.W. Hewitt, and I’ve gone OFF GRID
