Practice only in private

The podcast episode discusses the first practice approach for non-native English writers - practicing only in private. The emphasis is on improving writing skills by writing stories, blogs, or articles without publishing them. However, the speaker highlights the importance of not hiding from readers, as writers do not write solely for themselves. The argument is made that writers need to share their work with others, just as rock stars need an audience and chefs need guests. This approach is seen as beneficial for practice, but it is not recommended in isolation.
