I hope you are managing to keep well, and staying safe during this weird and scary time.
Some of you will know that I had said I would be stopping the podcast at the end of March, but in a change of plan, I'm releasing an episode today, and maybe one or two others in the near future.
My excuse for changing my mind is, of course, the virus. So much has already been said about this topic but my focus will be on us as writers: how do we deal with these strange times? How can we survive and even thrive in this situation?a
To explore how we can make the most of these strange times, I am going to be releasing a couple more episodes of the podcast. Today, 3rd April I'm speaking to two writer / entrepreneur's about how we can survive lockdown as writers, they are: Wendy H Jones, and Abidemi Sanusi, here are their top 5 tips for the current crisis:
1. Establish a space, and a routine – find the space and the good discipline that will help you to get the work done
2. Get started – don’t be daunted by the big project, make a start and pace yourself
3. Be accountable – find a process whereby you can report on what you’ve achieved, and helpfully work with others
4. Speak up for your work – this one is about marketing, be prepared to speak up for your work, be proud of what you have created
5. Look after yourself – perhaps the most important one of all. From what you eat and drink to sleep and rest, learn the rhythms and practices that will allow you to look after your emotional, physical, and mental health
You can find that episode on your favourite podcast provider and also here.
Also, I have two offers for you.
