A proposito di questo titolo

 "I should be writing" is what people say, but they rarely do it. This podcast is designed to help you get past those blocks, whether it's what your teacher told you when you were a kid, to being totally sure you'll never be as good as (FAV AUTHOR) so you might as well quit.Copyright © by Mur Lafferty, 2005 - 2025 Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 Arte Storia e critica della letteratura

    [ISBW] The Art of Juggling Writers (as an assistant)
    Feb 18 2026

    "Not every opportunity is equal, and you don't have to chase everything."
    ~Tim Minneci

    ISBW 22.2

    What do you need to have when you're wrangling several pro writers? What can a writer expect from an assistant? Meet Tim Minneci, writer, podcaster, musician, and my assistant. (And Ursula's, and Kameron's.)

    We discuss the challenges of being a writer, the importance of having an assistant, and the various tasks that come with supporting authors in their creative endeavors. Tim covers social media, the publishing industry, and the balance between creativity and administrative work.

    (This post went live for supporters on February 16, 2026. If you want early, ad-free, and sometimes expanded episodes, support at Patreon!)

    [ISBW] Research or Procrastination?
    Dec 26 2025

    "You tell them enough information to show that you know 10% of what you're talking about, and your reader will assume you know the other 90%."

    In this episode, Mur discusses the seemingly innocuous action of research, and how it can become a trap that distracts from actual writing.

    Advent calendar info and AI complaints are free additions!
