Everyone gets stuck. And in this interview with writer and teacher Ramona Ausubel, we talk about why this is normal and practical, usable ways to meet a page when we don't think we can go on. Drawing from her newest book, Unstuck:101 Doorways leading from the Blank Page to the Last Page, Ramona shares with us why certain strategies work only at certain stages of creative projects. We talk about finding patterns, ways to develop characters and create scenes, different ways to approach different drafts, the half-draft approach, finding opposition and so much more.Ramona Ausubel is the national bestselling author of Unstuck: 101 Doorways Leading From the Blank Page to the Last Page, The Last Animal, Awayland: stories, Sons and Daughters of Ease and Plenty, A Guide to Being Born and No One is Here Except All of Us.

What does it actually take to write a book, and keep writing them, year after year? In this episode, I sit down with NYT bestselling author Katherine Center for a warm, behind-the-scenes look at her life as a writer. Katherine is the author of thirteen novels Amazon, including her newest release, The Shippers, a friends-to-lovers romance set aboard a cruise ship. Two of her books have hit the global Top 10 on Netflix Amazon, Happiness for Beginners and The Lost Husband, and she has become one of the most beloved voices in contemporary romance fiction. In this episode, Katherine shares how she got her start as an author, what her writing process and day-to-day life actually look like, and what keeps her inspired book after book. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her work, this conversation is a good reminder that creative careers are built one page at a time. About Katherine's New Book: The Shippers follows JoJo Burton, who ropes in her childhood best friend Cooper as her wingman at her sister's destination wedding on a cruise ship Amazon, with results she didn't plan for. Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas Goodreads, which felt like a fun full-circle fact to share with our Texas listeners!

For as long as people have been creating, the hardest part has been starting. The blank page represents friction, doubt, and the pressure to get it right from the very first word. But that moment is disappearing. In this episode, we explore how AI is fundamentally changing the creative process by eliminating the barrier to entry—turning nothing into something instantly. Instead of staring at a blank page, you now begin with momentum: ideas, drafts, and direction already in motion. We break down what this shift means for writers, creators, and anyone trying to bring ideas to life. When starting is no longer the obstacle, the real question becomes: what do you choose to create, and how do you shape what AI gives you into something meaningful?

Bestselling and award-winning author Ramona Ausubel spoke with us about the value of low-residency MFA programs, and how to jumpstart your writing process with her latest book UNSTUCK: 101 Doorways Leading from the Blank Page to the Last Page.

Warm-hearted and practical, Ausubel emerges as trustworthy companion for a writer who's stuck anywhere on the challenging road of creativity. Generous, empathetic, and unfailingly encouraging.” Ramona's work has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Paris Review daily, One Story, Tin House, The Oxford American, Ploughshares and others. She is a professor at Colorado State University and has taught in the Bennington Writing Seminars, Tin House Writing Workshop, Writing by Writers, the Community of Writers, Bread Loaf Environmental, Writing Workshop Paris and elsewhere.

April 2, 2026 Daily Devotional: “The Beauty of the Blank Page”Isaiah 43:18-19 ​"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."  ​ We often get stuck in "The Way Things Were." Sometimes we dwell on the past because of regret, wishing we could undo a mistake. Other times, we dwell there because of nostalgia, clinging to a season where we felt safe, successful, or happy, fearing that our best days are behind us. ​But in these verses for today's devotional, God gives us a gentle but firm command; Forget the former things. He isn't telling us to have amnesia. He's telling us to stop letting the past define our present potential. If youare constantly looking backward, you'll miss the "sprout" breaking through the soil right at your feet. Notice the phrasing: "Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" This suggests that God's "new thing"isn't always a finished skyscraper; often, it's a tiny seed. It requires a shift in our perception to see God's hand in the middle of our wilderness or wasteland. He doesn't wait for the desert to disappear before He starts thework; He brings the water into the dry place. ​  Release the anchor and begin asking yourself; what "former thing" are you dragging into today? Whether it's an old hurt or an old glory, give it to God so your hands are free to receive what's next. Look for the"sprout" and ask God to open your eyes to the small blessings. It might be a new connection, a moment of peace, or a fresh idea. ​Trust the Waymaker because even if your life feels like a desert right now, remember that God specializes in "wasteland irrigation." He provides exactly what is needed to sustain the new growth. God is already working, but our focus on "the way things used to be" or our current "desert" environment can blind us to it. The core meaning is a call to spiritual alertness. It's an invitation to shift your gaze from the dry sand of your current struggle to the small "springs" of grace God is starting to bubble up for you.

笑い飯哲夫のサタデーナイト仏教：2026年3月14日：両親を立て続けに亡くして心が”空っぽ”に…内田也哉子さんのエッセイ『BLANK PAGE』 by FM大阪

Astrologer, soul guide, and Mystical Messages host Hilary shares the influence of a rare planetary dynamic.  Spiritual Neptune and Taskmaster Saturn are now cycling through Aries, the first fire sign of the zodiac. They offer humanity a truly historic opportunity:  a blank page or canvas to begin anew and steer our lives from a completely fresh perspective.   Neptune has not cycled through Aries since 1861, or 165 years ago; it has not conjoined Saturn in Aries since 1703.  Together, they anchor our visions and dreams in a brand new way.  While the prospect is incredibly exciting for some, it is scary or intimidating for others.  We are now collectively stepping into an age of self-directed empowerment.  Many are feeling pushed out of the proverbial nest, to fly on our own.  Ready or not, the time is now.   To reach Hilary Harley: www.hilaryharley.com http://www.hilaryharley.com/ Hilary@hilaryharley.com Facebook:  hilary harley. https://www.facebook.com/hilary.harley.3 hilary harley astrology https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057501487642  holistic healing https://www.facebook.com/hilaryharley714 Instagram:  hilary.harley https://www.instagram.com/hilary.harley    

In this message, Noel explores Acts 23:12–24:27 and what it means to trust God when progress feels slow or unclear. Looking at Paul's arrest, trials, and two-year imprisonment, he shows how God's promises often unfold through delays, detours, and ordinary circumstances rather than dramatic moments. The message highlights how Paul continues to point people to the hope of the resurrection even while waiting. It's a reminder that faithfulness in ordinary seasons still fits within God's larger plan.Subscribe to AfterWords on  Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the One More Series JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com—About Riverview ChurchRiverview Church is a multi-venue church based in Lansing, Michigan, where we invite everyone to know and enjoy Jesus as we stumble together in our pursuit to love like Him.

Are you frozen?

Maddie & Christina are here to review Our Unwritten Seoul! Maddie FINALLY decided to watch this amazing drama, and Christina couldn't be more thrilled. This drama is definitely “Christina-coded” and could be her drama of the year. WHAT?!Our Unwritten Seoul is about two twins, Mi-Ji & Mi-Jae (Park Bo-young – Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Daily Dose of Sunshine), who are complete opposites. Mi-Jae works a finance job in Seoul, while Mi-Ji continues to live in their farming hometown, helping her family and doing a myriad of jobs. Both women are in a rut and need time apart from their current situations, so they end up switching places temporarily.In this review, the ladies talk about how beautiful the writing is, how amazing the women characters are, and how the two male leads (Jinyoung – GOT7, Yumi's Cells & Ryu Kyung-soo – Itaewon Class) are some of the BIGGEST GREEN FLAGS in the history of green flags. This drama pulls at your heartstrings and teaches you that everyone needs help through life — and that it's never too late to start again.“Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come.

Josh Mattei, talks to Blank Page!

Ugh - the blank page. Daunting at times, so I'll discuss the challenges and processes of writing fiction and memoirs, emphasising the importance of starting with curiosity rather than perfection, nurturing your protagonist, building the emotional core of your story, and finding a writing process that works for you.I encourage you to embrace the messiness of the beginning, to write without fear, and to enjoy the journey of storytelling.If you'd like help getting your story started, check out my website and the Story Development service.

We visit the Blank Page Cafe which has been serving breakfast tacos, gluten-free treats and coffee in Shelburne for nearly a decade. Plus, Essex town officials deny local approval for an Amazon distribution facility, Montpelier town officials order the removal of a homeless encampment near the downtown bus station, the Winooski-Burlington bridge projects gets federal money, and two local organizations that help people with disabilities enjoy year-round sports and outdoor recreation will merge.

“Operating a small business is like riding a roller coaster,” says Mike Proia, who owns the cafe at Bread & Butter Farm in Shelburne.

What if you could go from a completely blank page - or in this case, a blank poster board - to mapping out and practicing your signature talk… all in just one day? That's exactly what happened at our recent in-person Speaking Accelerator Workshop in Orlando, and in this episode, you'll hear directly from three of the incredible women who participated: Lesline Pittman, Monica Mitchell, and Dr. Emma Jones. You'll get the behind-the-scenes scoop on what it's like to go from idea to delivery in a single day (yes, it's totally possible!) - including the unexpected improv exercises, vulnerable storytelling moments, and the real magic that happens when smart, passionate women come together to use their voice. In this episode, we talk about: Why each of them said “yes” to attending the workshop (even flying in from out of state!) How they went from “Can I really do this in one day?” to confidently practicing their talk on stage What it felt like to get feedback in real-time and push past perfectionism The power of sharing personal stories What they're doing next with their talks and visibility efforts You'll also hear some powerful lessons about embracing vulnerability, escaping the “expert trap,” and why your story absolutely matters, even if others are talking about similar topics. Whether you've been thinking about joining one of our in-person workshops or you just want some encouragement to get your own talk out of your head and into the world, this episode will inspire you to take that next bold step.  Our next 1-day Speaking Workshop is on October 30, 2025, in Downtown Orlando, Florida!

This month's mix is deeply personal, dedicated to the memory of two dear friends, Seva and Shant. But it's not a downer—I'm sharing a journey of transformation and light, turning pain into strength, and wounds into wings.

He's also published standalones, novellas, and short stories, as well as a slightly twisted children's picture book for slightly twisted children. His latest book, This House of Burning Bones, is out now.Despite some technical difficulties (explained at the start!) we enjoyed chatting with Stuart and hearing about how he loves the thrill of the blank page and how every story starts with him writing the cover copy for the novel.

How to Defeat the Blank Page: A Writer's Greatest EnemyAh, the blank page. That cold, unfeeling void staring back at you, silently judging your every hesitation. It's the sworn enemy of every writer—from seasoned novelists to first-time scribblers—and yet, it's where every masterpiece begins. How cruel.If you've ever stared at an empty page and felt a mix of dread and frustration, you're not alone. Every writer, no matter how experienced, has faced the suffocating silence of the blank page. But here's the good news: the blank page isn't invincible. In fact, it's just waiting for you to take the first step. And that's what we're here to talk about today.Recently, we released something very different: a mini-episode video called “The Blank Page: Enemy of the Creative Soul.” It's a funny, relatable take on the eternal battle between writers and their greatest nemesis. If you haven't seen it yet, we've brought it to life with humor, a touch of drama, and some surprisingly practical advice. (Check it out and let us know what you think!)But for those of you who prefer the written word, let's dive deeper into how you can tackle the blank page and start turning your ideas into words.1. Why Is the Blank Page So Scary?The blank page can feel like a mirror for all our fears as writers:* What if my idea isn't good enough?* What if I'm not good enough?* What if I write 3,000 words only to realize it's utter rubbish?It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the weight of expectation, but here's the truth: the blank page doesn't care about perfection. In fact, its job is to be filled—with anything. Your job is to give it something to hold, no matter how messy, silly, or imperfect.2. The Secret to Conquering the Blank PageThere's no single magic formula to overcome the fear of starting, but here are some tried-and-true strategies that work for us:Start Small and SillyNot every word you write has to be gold. In fact, most first drafts are pure chaos—and that's okay. Write something ridiculous if you need to. For example:The avocado king declared war on the banana republic. It was a battle no one saw coming.See? It's silly, but it's writing! Sometimes the act of putting any words on the page is enough to break through the fear.Lower the StakesStop thinking about writing as “creating a masterpiece.” Think of it as an experiment, a doodle, a rough sketch. Give yourself permission to write badly. It's easier to edit a terrible sentence than to edit nothing at all.Set a TimerUse the Pomodoro Technique or set a timer for 10 minutes. Tell yourself, “I only have to write for this long.” Often, you'll find that starting is the hardest part, and once you're rolling, the words come more easily.Ask QuestionsWhen you're stuck, start by asking questions about your story. What does your character want? What's the worst thing that could happen to them today? If you're not writing fiction, ask yourself what problem you're trying to solve for your reader.3. A Writer's Pep TalkIf you're feeling overwhelmed, remember this: Every writer you admire has felt exactly how you feel right now. Even the greats have stared at the blank page and thought, I have no idea what I'm doing.But they pushed through. They started with one messy sentence, then another, and another. That's all writing is—a series of imperfect sentences that somehow come together to make something meaningful.You don't have to write a masterpiece today. You don't even have to write well. You just have to write.4. What Did You Think?This mini-episode was a bit of an experiment for us, blending humor with advice to tackle one of the most universal struggles writers face. Did it resonate with you? Did it make you laugh? Did it help you stare down your blank page with a little more courage?We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Should we create more of these mini-episodes? What other writing challenges would you like us to tackle (with a bit of humor, of course)?As always, thank you for being part of our writing community. Now go forth and fill that blank page—even if it's just with your grocery list. It's a start.Happy writing!Subscribe for More Fun and Advice: This is a public episode.
