Subscribe to Write Bites

Write Bites is a Substack community for busy writers. Every Saturday, Alicia sends a 10 minute writing exercise to encourage even the busiest of creatives to establish a writing practice. The weekly prompts vary in craft topic and medium, and require no experience to participate in. And it’s free! And always will be.
