Write Better Now!
Weekly round up and a cool writing exercise!
Every Monday, we’re sending out a quick round-up of what we talked about and some cool links to check out to help all of us become better writers.
As a reminder, on Wednesdays the WRITE BETTER NOW podcast comes out here (and everywhere).
Later in the week there is a bonus post for paid subscribers because, honestly, it’s super kind of you to support me that way, and I want to make sure to make it worth your while. Thank you for being here.
Here we go!
Last week on the podcast we talked about wtf even is a scene and delved a bit into the basic structure of stories.
And the post for paid subscribers was all about how talking heads are bad and how you can imagine yourself into a scene.
Cool Writing Exercise
Erin Penn has a cool little writing exercise from back in 2019 that works on that white room/talking heads syndrome. You should check out her blog.
Cool Links By Other People
Listen to “Lazy” by David Yezzi.
Poets & Writers has a great WEEKEND GETAWAY prompt if you’re feeling blocked.
A cool Lane Clarke interview about healing through writing.
SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION MOMENT
So, I’m teaching another cool six-month class at the Writing Barn in Austin. It’s a pretty fantastic place. And the class is super fun. I’ve had a ton of students get unblocked and get published. You should check it out or just come hang out with me as your writing coach. I offer a ton of different options.
