Diane had some vacation time last week and is finding it hard to get back into the groove. She talks to Hannah about the mindset of writers who feel like they need to write all the time, how to get back into it, and what you can do to put yourself in a writerly frame of mind even when putting words to paper isn’t in the cards.

Books and media and places mentioned:

  • Citizenfour, a documentary about whistleblower and fugitive Edward Snowden. You can watch the trailer.
