Spun Today With Tony Ortiz

In this episode I share my December 2019 writing stats, my cumulative 2019 yearly writing stats & January 2020 writing stats. I also share a writing tip that I picked up along the way, I tell you about what I’ve been reading, I reflect on the untimely passing of Kobe Bryant and finally, I read and reflect on a couple of my free-writing pieces, dedicated to Kobe, which can be found here: spuntoday.com/freewriting/kobe8 & spuntoday.com/freewriting/kobe24   The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing & Random Rants, but unlimited in scope. Give it a whirl.   Links referenced in this episode:   Today’s Writing Tip: Critique: 10 Ways to Write a Better First Chapter Using Specific Word Choices   Jay-Z by Michael Eric Dyson: https://www.amazon.com/JAY-Z-America-Michael-Eric-Dyson/dp/1250230969/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TURNIBRZ679K&keywords=jay-z+michael+eric+dyson&qid=1580967365&sprefix=jay-z+michael+eri%2Caps%2C-1&sr=8-1   The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman: https://www.amaz
