The Write Off

In part two, we discuss the Pomodoro technique, writing sprints, the lonely nature of writing and the importance of snacks. We hope you enjoy. Good luck with your writing!

This is a special episode in which we meet for our very own DIY writing retreat! We hope this inspires you to carve out time for yourself and whatever it is you are working on. Part Two will follow soon. Good luck with your writing!

It's the last episode of series three! We chat about the expectations we put on ourselves and our writing. Are we asking too much of ourselves? Do expectations help or hinder our creativity? Thanks for listening and good luck with your writing xxx

In this episode we chat about the patterns of our working, how we motivate ourselves to sit down at our desks and stay there, how we  understand our own habits in order to get most out of our writing time and really 'go the distance' with our work. Stay tuned for more running analogies!  

What makes your characters feel real? How do we bring them to life? In this episode we chat about how we attempt to find an essential truth when writing dialogue and portraying characters. We also discuss character flaws, finding nuance in dialogue, varying our tone and adopting we know traits from people we know. Superman also gets  a mention, as does the super Sharon Horgan. We hope you enjoy!
