The Net’ is a conversation about the myriad ways in which the internet can both help and hinder the writing process. As always, if you have a moment please rate, review and share - we’d love to grow this little Write Off community, and it really does help people to find us! Thank you
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!
Do you get writers block? Is it a want for inspiration or an inability to make decisions? In this episode we discuss plotting vs improv. We also talk about what we do when we get stuck whilst writing to become unstuck.
In this episode we discuss writing advice. Writing can be inspiring and motivational. But should we listen to all advice from professionals? Does the advice of others ever make you feel like you're doing it wrong? Or make you feel guilty? We're here to say... us too!
In series 2 episode 6, we discuss the challenges of editing. Do we let our egos get in the way of refining our work? How hard is it to remove writing that we are proud of, for the good of the story - especially when we have such limited time to put down any words at all? We also discuss our writing resolutions for 2022. We hope you enjoy 'Kill Your Darlings' - and as always, good luck with your writing!
We talk about our writing expectations vs our writing reality. What notions did we have about writing and the life of a a writer? Do we still have expectations that might not be met? How do we continue to have hope and enthusiasm when mean old reality rears its head?
In this episode we chat about catharsis in writing.
Do you find the act of writing cathartic? Should we always write from personal experience? Can you experience a release of your emotions even when writing vicariously?
Did you know that cathartic is the name of a laxative?
We hope you enjoy, and as ever, best of luck with your writing!
In series two, episode three we question whether as writers, we seek validation. What's the ultimate goal? If you were told you were unlikely to be published, would you write anyway? We hope you enjoy, and good luck with your writing!
