Listen Later

Ever felt like you're chasing inspiration with a club, only to watch it flutter away just out of reach? You're not alone. We've been there, and in this podcast episode, we share how we overcame it and how you can too. We offer practical tips to keep your motivation and inspiration alive, drawing from the wisdom of writing giants like Jack London and Ray Bradbury. We also delve into my personal experience of writing in a scriptorium in Arbroath Abbey, proving that a change of environment can do wonders for your creativity. 

But what if the creative well runs dry? Fret not, we've got you covered. We explore a variety of strategies to reignite your creative spark, from diversifying your reading list to experimenting with new writing forms. Connecting with other authors and readers is also crucial. That's where platforms like Patreon come in. We discuss how to leverage such platforms to showcase your work, connect with like-minded individuals, and create a supportive community around your work. All these and more, await your eager ears. So, buckle in for an enriching ride filled with inspiration, motivation, practical advice, and real-world experiences. Keep writing and enjoy the journey!
