Win my writing essentials • Forthcoming subscriber events at the bottom of the page
Hello,
This week,
and I held our regular Creative Questions session, answering subscribers’ queries and sharing our thoughts on:How deranged one can feel at the end of writing a book
Story management methods, from index cards to Scrivener
What it’s like when your partner and friends aren’t interested in your work
The dangers of style guides
The ethics of writing about other people
Structuring time across different projects (in order to try to stay sane).
Here’s a clip of our conversation. Click ‘CC’ to add captions.
Paid members can find the whole recording below, plus a transcript.
We now hold a Creative Questions gathering every month, and they are a delight. You can join us live online - or watch later - as we do our best to answer your pressing questions about writing, putting your work out there, or living a creative life.
Win my writing essentials!
This month’s box is now live, featuring three books this time - Kate Fox’s On Sycamore Gap, Hilary Mantel’s Giving Up the Ghost, a signed copy of The Electricity of Every Living Thing (by me), as well as stickers, my favourite refillable Herbin pen, Diamine ink, Blackwing pencils, a Rhodia notebook, lip balm, hand cream, and I couldn’t resist adding a pack of these lovely little mushroom bookmarks from Genuine Fred. I bought some for Bert and we all fell in love with them, so I’m spreading the joy. I’m going to need bigger boxes soon.
To be entered into the draw, all you need to do is take out or renew an annual subscription (and that includes Retreat Tier subs) - we’ll do the rest.
