OBSERVE THE WORD THEME by David Duff, 2019.

Observe the Word Theme (Official)

Observe the Word won't always have interviews with people-- part of building a writer's lifestyle is… well, writing.  We jumped in with both feet for our Pilot Episode, talking with Sunni Soper of 310 Brown Street on a broad range of topics including Copyrighting, Royalties, getting involved in venues, self care and mental health with poetry-- again, if you haven't listened, go back!  Talking with her was a great experience and so much fun.  But-- in order to do so many of those things, you have to have writing to do it with, right?  Where does a writer start?  Or, if you've been writing, how do you get into spoken word and performing?
