[ISBW] How, Exactly, Do I Find Time To Write?

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/03/12

After 20 years I've finally figured out how to find that elusive time to write. And the reason I never found it before was because finding time, or making time, is more challenging than people say it is. Sure, OK, "make time" -- but HOW? Hey! I'm fundraising for The Trevor Project. Get the extended version of this podcast via Patreon!

[ISBW] Who Do You Trust?

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/03/11

There is a lot of contradictory advice on the internet. Even the same articles/lists will have contradictory advice. And when are looking for specific advice, the pithy "Do this, no, wait, don't do this" blog posts are infuriating. So how do you know who to trust when it comes to looking for advice?

[ISBW] Poor Little Rich Writer

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/02/22

Every few years there's a very concerned think piece about the innocent writer who got a six figure advance and blew it all, or sold zero books, or just felt betrayed by publishing, and I am sick of it. If only we all could get articles written about us when we have a bad day at work, or show ourselves unwilling to do basic research into our new profession.

Characters' Wants and Needs

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/02/04

"Your character must want something, even if it's a glass of water!" Characters must always have wants, but it takes a bit more work to think about what they need, and more importantly, when in the story for them to address those needs.

Productivity (OR Mommy and Daddy are Fighting!)

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/02/03

I look at two productivity methods and am entirely flummoxed by the two that seem at odds with each other: the 10X Rule that suggests if you shoot for 10X your goal you won't necessarily make 10X, but you'll very likely get much more than you would have had you, say, gone the compound method talked about in Atomic Habits and The Compound Effect where if you get just a little bit better every day then you will see real results.

Dropping Truth Bombs

2021/01/23

I'm talking about truth bombs that a lot of beginning creative types don't want to hear, but I figure, I'm just telling you, "Hey, in the road up ahead there's a hole. Most everyone hits the hole and it jostles them. I wanted you to know it was there." That was my hole metaphor. I thought it was good despite sleep dep.

Weaponizing Language

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/01/21

I'm finally posting last week's episodes. I've been writing a lot and neglecting the podcast production, even though the streams are still on schedule. Ironically, I did want to talk about the power of language again this month, but I did not expect the president to whip his fans into a fury with some very amazing weaponized language, so this topic hit a little close to home on January 12.

Turn It Off

I Should Be Writing ·

2021/01/13

I found it very hard to concentrate after the events of January 6, so I realized that in order to get work done, I had to do some self care and turn it off. News, social media, the whole world of distraction. I hope you can find some equilibrium.
