When novelist Tammy Oberhausen feels "stuck or uninspired," she tends "to wallow around with it for a while and feel bad." Writing prompts help her ideas flow again. "Don't wallow too much," she says. "Get the prompt and go with it."
On this episode, Tammy shares how to use your dreams—which she says are like "personalized prompts"—in your writing.
