John Helps You Write Better episodes
- The problem with puzzling vs plotting vs pantsing
In today's episode I have a few things to say about all the different divides we have about how to write a story. This one goes to some places. Strap in.
19 min - Answering a question about character movement
Here today for you I have a question that didn't make this week's Chat - how do you handle characters moving so frequently from place to place? (Hint: it's not as complicated as some people make it)
13 min - How does your writer garden grow?
In today's episode I have a few things to say about how we get better as writers.
12 min - A particularly vulnerable but not necessarily spooky Writers Chat for 10.31
In this week's Chat, I talk about publishing via blogpost, trusting yourself creatively, writing while depressed, how much of an asshole I used to be, and a few horror movies to help you write better
1 hr 38 min - 11 min
- Listen to this if you're worried that you're taking too long or you're not good enough as a writer
NOTE: this one is a little on the long side (1 hr, 40ish minutes), but I think this is going to help you if you're the sort of writer who has plenty of reasons to tell the world why you're having trouble why you're not good enough. Here's how to get better.
1 hr 42 min - A very believe-in-yourself installment of the Writers Chat for 10.24
In today's episode I talk a lot about what it means to be good enough, why I don't want to be an agent, how to market things, why no one should care about speed, and whether or not there's a muse. This is a good episode. You'll like it.
1 hr 28 min - What's your relationship with time like?
In today's episode, I want to talk to you about time. This episode is particularly good for people who often think they're not writing fast enough or doing enough or that they need to be doing more in less time in order to be "good enough."
19 min - Listen to this episode when you feel like you're out of options.
In today's episode, I talk about resistance, fear, and how you're good enough to do more than exhaust yourself.
21 min - BONUS CHAT QUESTION - What's the action economy look like?
In today's episode I talk about the action economy and how it's just not for big climaxes.
