The unexpected demise of a witch on All Hallow's Eve prompts her faithful assistant to seek the answer to the question, “Who killed Edith Evilez?” Genre: Horror   Excerpt: “Who killed Edith Evilez?” the slightly malnourished young—or perhaps old—woman asked, as she thrust a dusty umbrella at a passing passerby. The asker's name was Trudy Trubbeld. And she had been standing at the corner, asking the question—or rather accusing the question—to various passersby since the death of her mistress and mentor, the aforementioned Edith Evilez, known to her enemies as Edie, and to her friends by no name, as she had no friends to call her by any name.   What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?Write a 200-word newspaper obituary for your villain.

Partial view of an obituary in a newspaper seen from a slight angle. At right is the image of a woman seen from shoulders up, wearing a collared cloak, face in three-quarters profile facing right, one brow and one corner of the mouth raised in a smiled, hair in a low bun at her neck. She holds up her left hand. The top half of a bat seems to be emerging from her palm. Another bat with outstretched wings facing forward appears just above her palm. At left, partial view of a column with text. The top reads “Obituary.” Below it reads “Edith Evilez.”  The following text is visible, with ellipses representing parts that are cut off as they are out of frame. “…vilez passed in terror and fright on the night of October 31…is yet to be determined according to one of three profane…she might have followed. She is survived by her faithful…ing and slightly malnourished assistant, her beloved pet…the partially sentient carnivorous pitcher plant that…otherwise fetid greenhouse. Sometimes joined forces…ogud and Ralph Rotneg. Gave stingily of her time and…ociety of Whisper-mongers. Was awarded the dishonor…allion for her work with wandering spirits. Served a…junior board member for the Pocket Goblin Company…in dental assisting, equine communications, and…Known for her collection of historical thimbles…corded by aforementioned faithful assistant were…Edith will be begrudgingly remembered by…mies for her stalwart efforts at frightening…the downtrodden, and the surprisingly delicate…the summer block party every year…one. Her passing being celebrated by all…manity, and goodness.” The rectangular image is made square by borders at top and bottom which contain blurred and distorted bits from the main image.

Chris Baty joined Figma as their first ever UX writer. Now he is the Head of UX Writing, leading a team at the intersection of content, UX and product design. Chris talks to Kristina about growing the UX writing team at Figma, the business value of UX writing and using data to inform your work and decisions. He also accidentally founded National Novel Writing Month, which you likely know as NaNoWriMo and used to work at Dropbox. All of these experiences are connected and discussed in the latest episode of the Content Strategy Podcast.

Today I talk about every writer's favorite (or most dreaded?) month of the year: National Novel Writing Month! Formed by Chris Baty in 1999, National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) "is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page." So much more than just 50,000 words in a month!

You are in for such a treat!   Today's show features the music of Zemer Levav and an interview with Shimrit Hanes.   She sings beautifully and plays the harp too!   Also she just wrote her first book, The Dreamers, the Terra Colony Project Book 1.Shimrit is a songwriter/vocalist/harpist and never intended to become an author. A home school mom of five, her three adult daughters challenged each other to write a book in a month. Desiring to be helpful, she read “No Plot, No Problem” by Chris Baty aloud to her busy middle daughter while she worked. Suddenly an incredible story idea came to mind. Now she had a plot, and a problem. This was her girls thing! MOM!At the end of the month she and one other daughter had their manuscripts finished. After three years of re-writes and fine tuning, Shimrit had a finished book, and outlines for a second and third! Thus “The Terra Colony Project” series was born.Enjoy!!

Last month, I spoke wth Chris Baty from Figma - and we talked about how Figma is helping UX writers enter the design process. This month we continue that conversation with the creator of a copy management system. Jasper Platz is NOT a UX writer or content designer. He says that straight up. However, he quickly discovered a love for content design when building other products. So much so, that he decided UX writers need software of their own to manage the copy process. We talk about that in this episode, but we also talk about: How software can democratize design for UX writers What would product managers look like if they came from design? Why is content design getting so much attention? …and more. This was a great chat, so I hope you enjoy it! —————————- Get 20% off courses at the UX Writers Collective! Just use the code PODCAST20.

One of the biggest challenges for UX writers is figuring out how to embed themselves within the design process. Tools like Figma are making that easier. After all, being able to edit a design without any specific software makes it harder not to give writers access. Which means it’s easier for us to do our job. Chris Baty is the Principal UX Writer at Figma, and was previously the head of UX writing at Dropbox. He’s also the founder of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). He’s a busy guy. He’s also an exceptional champion for all types of writers everywhere. Including content designers. In this episode we talk about him joining Figma, the work he’s doing there to make Figma an exceptional tool for UX writers and content designers, and what it’s like working as a team of one. And so much more. -------------------------- Get 20% off courses at the UX Writers Collective! Just use the code PODCAST20.

November som var den värsta månaden - blev en BRA månad! :) Skrivandet som terapi och terapeutiskt skrivande i morgonsidor enligt Julia Camerons metod och NaNoWriMo (National Writing Month) sätter extra koncentrerad fart på kreativiteten på olika sätt, men ändå samma! De frigör den kreativa potentialen genom att frigöra en från det som sätter upp barriärer och lätt blir mentala hinder. Morgon-sidorna genom att det är ett sätt att "tvätta" bort diffus oro och låta en ha en bra säkerhetsventil i vardagen där överskottstryck kan få pysa ut och lätta på trycket, ge en mer kraft till kreativitet och skrivande och ett mer produktivt liv genom att lätta på bördan av vardagstjafs och diffus oro, men också låter en se olika mönster i en själv som upprepas över tid och kanske måste ges ett utlopp? NaNoWriMo - National Writing Month i november http://nanowrimo.org frigör skrivandet och kreativiteten på ett helt annat sätt men ändå med vissa likheter: Det gör att vi kan skriva hämningslöst och befriat på ett sätt som vi annars sällan tillåter oss, och genom att skriva 50 000 ord motsvarande en kort roman på 30 dagar, eller en månad så tvingas vi skriva flyhänt och utan att tänka för mycket, utan att prokrastinera och hitta ursäkter eller bara hindra oss själva som vi så ofta annars gör! Genom att inte ha en allt för utmejslad plan utan mera gå med i flödet, låta sig dras med i det flow som skapas av att skriva enormt snabbt och utan att tänka sönder saker - så skapas många nya kreativa aha-upplevelser och tankar! I Chris Batys bok "No Plot? No problem?" så skrivs mycket om just detta fenomen: Genom att ösa på och sikta på kvantitet och inte tänka sönder allt - så dyker en hel massa kvalitet också upp! En hel del av den är oväntad och skulle aldrig sett dagens ljus annars! Chris Baty är grundaren till NaNo som startade bland en handfull vänner 1999 och sedan blev en helt oväntad succé som nu spritt sig som en löpeld över hela världen och en stort antal personer skriver nu en roman om 50 000 ord i november i NaNoWriMo:s regi genom att logga in och regga en profil där: Kolla in själv på http://nanowrimo.org *** Nu finns Kreativitets-podden bland annat på Stitcher, Google Play och iTunes - ge gärna fem stjärnor och recensera podden så hjälper du andra att hitta den!
