It's the finale of Season 3! We have a fiery ending, writing stories inspired by Vesta, goddess of the hearth.

...But honestly, we in the Cru have all had a lot going on in our personal lives. It's been a hectic summer. Our topic of discussion today is how to get back into writing, or any pursuit, after a long time of not doing it. Join us as we get back together to enjoy community and writing all over again.

We welcome author Stuart Miller for a discussion about trauma and writing. Writing can be a tool to educate others, but it can also be a medium through which the author can heal. Stuart only had a short time to share with us, and he bowed out before the stories began. We start reading those at the 20:45 mark, and they include a curmudgeon, who encounters a cat; a girl, just starting out on her own, who encounters a curmudgeon; a curmudgeon, not by choice; 3 baby stories; a secret story; and an anarchist tale.
