Description
Have you ever had a big deadline and all of a sudden you have to listen to that new audiobook? In this episode, we talk about how anxiety about your writing can lead to moments like this. Then we discuss ways to motivate yourself from steering into the skid, to doing achievable tasks, as well as how taking care of your body and mind affects your creative work.
Consume: Listen to Mark Can’t Rap with British poet Mark Grist
Create: Set a calendar alert for 5 days in a row to spend 10 mins writing non-stop.
Each day, write about a different body part. At the end of the 5 days, put each of the sections together and look at the experimental novel you’ve created.

Feedback: Our art is personal so sometimes receiving feedback can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Jeffrey and Joseph talk about how to give and receive comments beyond “it was good,” or “it was bad.” They outline four steps to help get and give useful responses: give permission, set specific parameters, have a limit, and evaluate what was helpful. by Start With This
