Are we writers yet?

In this debut episode of Write Your Heart Out, co-hosts Kayla Ogden and Rachel Cyr open up about their writing journeys, imposter syndrome, and the magic of finally finishing something—be it a novel or a poem about a flamingo showdown in a zoo. Rachel shares her first public reading experience (and her fear of crying onstage), Kayla talks about querying her debut novel, and both reflect on the weird vulnerability of calling yourself a writer. Along the way: a haunted lasagna, a flamingo fight poem, and a heartfelt tribute to the writing friends who cheer us on.

Whether you're a closet writer or a best-selling success story, this episode will make you feel like you’re part of a literary girl gang.
