The Daily Writer

Have you ever noticed that some people have an opinion about literally everything? It’s not hard to find these people. They are all over social media, and probably within your workplace, social circle, or even your family.

While it’s easy to point out how others are opinionated, it’s important to look at ourselves as well. How about you? Do you have an opinion about everything?

On this episode, Kent teaches us that having an open perspective and being willing to learn help you become a better writer.

Have you ever felt stuck by writer’s block? If so, you’re in good company.

That’s exactly the state the members of the legendary rock group Guns N’ Roses found themselves in one day in 1987. They were recording songs for their album Appetite for Destruction and had been working on their song “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” 

As he was listening to a loop of the demo, lead singer Axl Rose began singing “Where do we go now?” as a filler lyric.

When you feel stuck in your writing and you’re asking yourself “Where do I go now?” … do what Axl did. He incorporated his question into his lyrics.

On this episode, you’ll learn how to get unstuck when you encounter writer’s block.

One of the perennial questions writers ask is, “Where do you get good ideas?” It’s a fair question because all of us have struggled with finding good ones for our writing.

The overriding feeling we have is that we need to do something more, or add some technique, in order to find great ideas. It’s not a matter of doing something more, it’s actually a matter of doing something less.

On this episode, Kent shares how to orient your life so you can be in the mindset to have good ideas.

In the fiction-writing community, there are two terms thrown around quite a bit: plotters and pantsers. Plotters are writers who know the whole plot of the story before they start writing. Pantsers are those who write “by the seat of their pants” and prefer to start with a situation, then discover the plot as they write.

On this episode, you’ll be reminded that part of the adventure of writing comes as you flesh out your ideas and write them down.

You’ve heard the saying “curiosity killed the cat.” The phrase has been around in some form or another for hundreds of years and is meant to be a warning to those who would investigate a matter too closely.

Perhaps we take it a little too far. When have you ever heard of someone actually being damaged by being curious? There has been far more damage done to writers and artists by a lack of curiosity than by curiosity itself.

On this episode, you’ll be encouraged that curiosity revitalizes your creativity.

Everything in life is a choice.

It’s up to you. It’s all your choice. We live in a beautiful time where anything is possible. Writers a hundred years ago would have done anything to get the opportunities we have.

There are many ways to build a platform or business as an author. But if there is one thing you must do, it is taking action instead of feeling paralyzed by all the choices.

On this episode, you’ll discover that one of the most important choices you can make is to take action.

I’m excited to feature a conversation from this past in the Daily Writer Community. My friend Lynn Smargis is a freelance writer in the area of health and fitness, gluten-free lifestyle, education, science, travel, and educational technology. She is also the host of the Gluten Free Travel Podcast.

Every month, we feature two calls in the Daily Writer group from a guest expert, and Lynn was kind enough to walk us through how to repurpose your blog or podcast into a book. This is a vital skill to develop in order to reach many more people with material you’re already producing.

You can learn more about Lynn and view her guide to repurposing your content below:

When it comes to curiosity, most people don’t cross the streams. They keep their reservoirs of knowledge separate from one another. History, religion, arts, psychology, politics, technology … they keep them in their nice little boxes.

The best creative ideas come from blending these areas--from the cross-pollination of interesting ideas. The only way to create new ideas is to cross your streams of knowledge and experience.

This is why as a writer you must read in different genres and categories. You must talk to people who are different than you.

On this episode, you’ll find that one of the best ways to maximize your creativity is by adding to your experience and knowledge, and combining these ideas to create something new.

We live in a world where miraculous things happen every day. Of course, most of these things don’t seem miraculous to us. They seem ordinary. But it all depends on your perspective.

On this episode, Kent reminds us that it’s vital to allow yourself to be astonished by the everyday miracles and help others see them too.
