What makes a piece of writing powerful? How does writing shape us and impact our thought processes? And who do we become through the act of writing? On this show, we delve into some such questions as we unpack the best writing techniques, and discuss the emotional, cognitive, and pschological processes that impact powerful storytelling.

Talk About Writing – Season 2, Episode 1

The Self-Starter Guide to Writing, Part I: How to Come Up with THE Idea, Staying Curious, and How Too Much Thinking Spoils the Story

Welcome back, writers! After a much-needed break (and many scoops of gelato in Florence), I’m thrilled to launch Season 2 of Talk About Writing! This season is all about the technical side of writing—guiding you through the process of finishing a manuscript.

In this first installment of the Self-Starter Series, we tackle one of the biggest hurdles for new and aspiring authors: how to generate the idea for your novel and stop overthinking before you even begin. We'll explore the power of curiosity, why too much planning can stall creativity, and how the key to writing isn’t in endless thinking—it’s in actually writing.

Join me as we dive into the first steps of turning your writing dreams into reality. Let’s kick off 2025 with the resolve to finally put pen to paper!
