The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience

How ProBlogger's Darren Rowse Writes

Listen Later

New media pioneer and entrepreneur Darren Rowse — creator of both Digital Photography School and ProBlogger — joined me to chat about the opportunities that 13 years of blogging have provided, his new podcast, and the importance of having the right mindset as a writer.

This sage blogging veteran and educator has blazed an inspiring path for enterprising online publishers.

His step-by-step blog series — 31 Days to Build a Better Blog — went from zero to viable business in no time, and now it’s a podcast every content creator can listen to … for free.

In this file Darren Rowse and I discuss:

  • Why You Should Write Like You Talk
  • How a Book Deal Was Born from a Blog Series
  • How Writing Offline Can Boost Your Word Count
  • The 3 Types of Writer’s Block All Bloggers Eventually Face
  • How Public Accountability Can Light a Fire Under Your Ass
  • Why You Need a Balance Between Dreaming and Doing
  • How to Get the Maximum Impact From Your Writing
