Not Too Busy To Write episodes
- Episode 1 - Who are we and how on earth are we managing to write at the moment
In the first episode of Not Too Busy To Write, Ali and Penny introduce themselves and how they came to writing and ask the big question - how the hell are they managing to write at the moment? This episode was recorded in London in January 2021 during lockdown (not, as Penny accidentally says, January 2001!!!) and between them Ali and Penny have a whole lot of kids and complications.

Ali Millar and Penny Wincer are Not Too Busy To Write. Except sometimes they are too busy to write as much as they would like.
Join us as we discuss the highs and lows of sitting down to the work, feeding our creativity and navigating the world of publishing. We’ll be looking at giving ourselves permission to write before it’s paid work, finding our feet in new genres, dismissing ideal conditions, bringing skills from other careers into our writing life and the joys (and sometimes pain!) of book marketing.
