Death Of 1000 Cuts - The Big Writing Motivation Episode

In this episode I talk about creative ways of getting unstuck when you're working on a project, and showcase John August's Writer Emergency Pack - a deck of cards designed to help storymakers out of jams. I also review what I've learned from speaking to the various authors I've had as guests on the show so far, and talk about some key takeaways you can apply to your writing practice right now.

NOT ONLY THAT but I drill down into the idea of 'success' and 'failure' as an author, and what they might actually look like for different people. My position is that the most common standard of writing success is responsible for a great deal of suffering and neither conducive to happiness nor creativity.

Finally I announce the big Death Of 1000 Cuts listener survey. Please please please let me know your thoughts! What do you like about the show? What would you like to hear more of? What could you do with less of? Tell me! Gimme feedback!

This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know:
- what are a range of strategies writers use to break through blocks?
- is there just one way of writing successfully?
- how can I avoid burnout as a writer?
- how can I motivate myself?
- are setbacks normal?

Death Of 1000 Cuts - Season 2 Episode 18 - Getting Unstuck & Defining Success (Writing Ramble)

This episode I chat to multi-award-winning writer Helen MacDonald, author of H IS FOR HAWK, about finding the right words, finding your voice, and pushing through in the face of self-doubt.

We discuss her poetic influences, Top Gun, madness, painting and masculine crisis in interbellum England. We really dig down into how you might go about turning your experiences, traumas and big questions into meaningful writing that connects with others. And, as well as talking about how to deal with setbacks and doubt, we cover that so rarely discussed of topics: how to cope with success.

This is a great episode to listen to if you want to know:
- how can I find my voice as a writer?
- what sort of writing routine should I establish?
- how can writing poetry help with my prose?
- what's it like when your book does really well?
- what are some techniques for overcoming low self-confidence?

If you enjoy this episode and you haven't yet read H IS FOR HAWK, I suggest you click here to get it delivered (with free P&P) to your door. It really is as good as the reviews and awards say - I found it magnetically compelling: https://wordery.com/h-is-for-hawk-helen-macdonald-9780099575450#oid=1908_1
