The Writing Life

#30 How to be a productive writer with Tim Clare


Listen Later

You'll be hard-pressed to find someone who is more passionate and driven about writing than Tim Clare. We talk about Tim's Weekly Writing Workout newsletter, his Couch to 80k Writing Bootcamp as well as his novels The Honours and forthcoming The Ice House.
Plus, of course, we discuss the word count required for reaching the optimum point of neuroplasticity, what Tim learned while talking to the Institute for Procrastination Research and how the same part of your brain is used for processing fiction and reality.
Hosted by Simon Jones, writer and Digital Marketing Manager at the National Centre for Writing.
