[Justice Ameer, inner stuff]: How being a mega-fan of whatever nerdy thing you love makes you a better writer + when your inner critic tells you you’re boring Ep 1114
In this second part of my interview with poet and slam champion, Justice Ameer, We talk about the mindset side of writing, including:
The factoid about moths that inspired a recent poem
Building up the revision muscle
How not to get bored with your primary theme or subject matter
Dealing with the admin side of writing as someone with ADHD
When your inner critic tells you “this is boring “
Dealing with the internal question “are you even a writer?“
Why experimenting with ideas that will likely never see the light of day is vital
How being a fan of Pokémon, video games, and vampire movies provide Justice with inspiration
