Description: The words we say to each other and ourselves shape our lives. One of Andrea’s favorite writing tenets is: Make every word count. In today’s episode we learn that every word counts in life also. This is the first episode of our second semester and we have some new students. You’ll hear Missy Hernandez tell her story called Words. Her story is about sharing words with her hero Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat Pray Love. Missy ended up on Gilbert’s Podcast, Magic Lessons. Hear how Lizzy’s words brought Missy back to life. Misha Mehrel, also a new student tells a story called Fighting Words about how words can trigger repressed emotion. We also bring you a response from a writing prompt by Rebeca Ruiz, a student in one of Andrea’s community workshops. Her story is about a single word, NO. Her parents said “no” to her when she wanted to go to New World School of the Arts and killed her creativity. Until now. Hear what tips Andrea gives Rebeca to make her story stronger. Here’s the prompt for this episode: A time words changed your life. Follow our daily prompts. Record your story and email to info@writingclassradio.com. Writing Class Radio is produced by Diego Saldana-Rojas, Allison Langer, and Andrea Askowitz with editorial help from Wilson Sayre, Misha Mehrel and Miriam Herman.

Theme music by Adriel Borshansky. Additional music by Ari Herstand, Misha Mehrel and Blue Jay. There’s no better way to understand ourselves and each other, than by writing and sharing our stories.
