It sounds like a crazy idea: trying to write a story a day every day for a month, and yet thousands of people have taken on this task every May since 2010. How? Why?
Listen and find out what your writing life will gain from giving it a try.
006 – Yes, You Should Write
In which I rant about the “professionalization” of entertainment and encourage you to rail against it.
005 – Giving Yourself Permission To Write
In this episode I talk about the many, many ways we are wrong when we tell ourselves we simply can’t write!
004 – How To Become A Highly Successful Writer
Make sure that your definition of ‘success’ for your writing is really YOUR definition of writing success. Don’t allow anyone else to tell you what success looks like!
Also covering: fifth grade failures; epic wins; a look forward to December 31.
003 – More Ways To Log Your Writing For Motivation
Last episode, we talked about logging your words, to motivate yourself to write more. This episode we look at other ways to log your progress for those times (e.g. when you’re editing a big project) when logging your (new) words is beyond depressing!
002 – Word Count Logging for Success
Last year I wrote 100,000 words of fiction (that’s on top of all the non-fiction writing, mothering, wife-ing and general living I got done).
In this episode I show you how to use word count logging to boost your writing output and to keep yourself accountable.
I also invite you to join us at the Serious Writers’ Accountability Group (SWAGr – we’re ‘serious’, not ‘sombre’!) at http://storyaday.org/category/swagr/ on the first of every month, to set your goals for the coming month and review how you got on last month.
