Hey, Writers! You Don't Have to Get Up on Stage for Improv to Boost Your Creativity

In this interview, I talked with Jorjeana Marie, actor, narrator, stand-up comedian, and the author of "Improv for Writers."

We talked about:

• What is improv?
• How can improv help writers? (And no, you don't actually have to get up on stage.)
• What is the "yes, and" concept?
• What is the role of commitment in improv and writing?
• How can meditation help your writing?

And then we played some short games from her book so you can get an idea of how it works.
