Six writers, six experiments - our first series of 'This Might Work' has wrapped. Here’s some bits we loved. Poll: what community writing experiment shall we do next?
I love the 6-minute freewrite on a focused question. What a great idea! I'm going to try it, too. It was fun to listen to the explanation and someone try it--thanks for that bonus!
I’ve suggested the exploratory questions exercise to my novel writing students as it’s simple and powerful at the same time but I’ve voted for artist dates because I need more of them in my life!
Yes definitely, with an episode dedicated to why we can’t take our own advice. 😆 To be fair I had already told them to go on artist dates and am constantly asking myself questions about my draft (far too many!)

Thank you Judith! It’s such a great, low stakes approach - I hope it helps.
Bec, these approaches all sound wonderful! It’s difficult to choose just one. Thank you!
Ha! Thank you! Perhaps choose the one where a little accountability might help.

I love that - the advice you give others and the advice you should take yourself! That feels like a whole new podcast.
