Introducing a new segment on Prologues: the Freewrite. We love book/writing-related puns around here. Freewriting is a writing technique that calls for stream-of-consciousness-style writing for a predetermined amount of pages or time. The goal is to kickstart your brain's creative juices by demanding that it produce words - any words, even nonsensical words, just as long as you don't stop physically writing until you hit the goal. Freewriting is effective because it helps you bypass your mental blocks and tap into deeper ideas.Sometimes, I have several episode ideas rolling around in my head, but I can't record them because I have a block. I have something else occupying space in my head and I can't talk about anything else until I talk about That Thing. Freewrite episodes are brain dumps of anything and everything that is taking up space in my head, so that I can get it out of the way and keep moving forward. This is the first of what I'm sure will be a frequent series on the podcast. 75
In this episode of the Making Ripples podcast, we are thrilled to welcome Eileen Anderson—writer, researcher, and advocate for humane dog training. Eileen is the author of Remember Me?, a Maxwell Award-winning book on canine cognitive dysfunction, and a thought leader in the world of positive reinforcement training. Eileen shares her fascinating journey from engineering and music to becoming a trusted voice in the animal behavior community. She discusses how a chance adoption of a challenging dog named Summer set her on a path of discovery, leading her to the world of behavior science, dog training, and eventually, writing. With her unique background in acoustics, Eileen also sheds light on common misconceptions about sound sensitivity in dogs and how her expertise has helped shape innovative approaches to training and problem-solving. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the science of sound and its impact on dogs, the importance of careful and ethical training, and practical strategies for building trust and communication with their pets. Eileen also shares her experiences mentoring aspiring writers, offering tips for overcoming writer's block and developing a meaningful writing practice.

Welcome to another episode of the Spun Today Podcast, where writing is our anchor, but our explorations are limitless. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and I'm thrilled to have you here for our 279th episode, a free writing session that's as much about personal discovery as it is about crafting prose. This week, we dive deep into the art of free writing, a technique I champion for its cathartic and exploratory benefits. I'll also share some personal writing updates and a compelling writing tip from the iconic minds of Tim Ferriss and Ryan Holiday, offering insights into the freeing practice of journaling. Then we're delving into Charlie Munger's timeless wisdom from "Poor Charlie's Almanac," exploring how his principles can illuminate your path toward mastering your craft or any creative venture. Lastly, I'll open the time capsule and reflect on one of my past free writing pieces, discussing the journey of navigating emotions with intent. You'll find inspiration and practical advice to fuel your creative process and perhaps a nudge past your own hurdles in writing or any imaginative pursuit.

In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with Mark Levy, differentiation expert and author of Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content, to dive into powerful tools for getting unstuck—including how how to use freewriting to write your way out of stuckness.During their conversation, Deanna and Mark explore how freewriting helps you “bypass your internal editor”—and how that can help you better navigate stuckness, why doing “one thing different” can unlock fresh perspectives (and help you get unstuck in the process), and how to “trick” your brain when you're feeling stuck. Tune in to learn about:Freewriting—and how to use it as a tool for getting unstuck as a tool for bypassing How to silence the part of your brain that keeps you stuck in familiar, unhelpful thought patternsHow small shifts can add up to big resultsThe power of reframing problems—especially when you're stuckWhy you need to actively seek new experiences and perspectives to get unstuckTricking your internal editor:.Thoughts from the episode:"Free writing is a way of watching yourself think.""If I feel I'm stuck, it's not that I have no options—it's that I have so many options I'm freezing myself into inaction.""Anxiety is a wonderful gauge that you're doing exactly what you should be doing."About the guest:Mark Levy is a speaker,, differentiation expert, and author of multiple books, including “Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content.” Mark is also the founder of Levy Innovation LLC, a strategy and positioning firm that helps organizations and individuals stand out and make an impact through what he calls their “Big Sexy Idea.”Connect with Mark Levy:On the web: Levy InnovationStay connected with Season of Stuck:Want more insights on how to make your journey from stuck to unstuck?

Welcome to Episode 268 of Spun Today, the podcast that dives deep into the world of writing, creativity, and the stories that both inspire and challenge us. I'm your host, Tony, and in this episode, we're exploring a rich tapestry of thought-provoking topics, from the emotional connections we share with loved ones, to the narratives we craft about ourselves. We'll delve into the teachings of renowned authors like Steven Pressfield and Walter Mosley, discussing the dichotomy between self-criticism and the quest for authentic storytelling. I'll share my reflections on two intriguing books—Ma Rothman's "Multiverse," a techno-thriller that piqued my interest despite my usual disinterest in sci-fi reading, and Charlamagne Tha God's "Get Honest or Die Lying," which offers powerful insights on self-evolution and nurturing creativity in children. Additionally, we'll touch on practical writing tips, the impact of cultural icons like Stephen King, and even get into a discussion about the film "Ford vs Ferrari" and its storytelling mechanisms. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just looking for a burst of creative inspiration, this episode is brimming with valuable insights. Stay tuned as we wrap up with ways you can support the show and enhance your own creative journey. Let's get started! Check out all free-writing pieces at: spuntoday.com/freewriting.

Hello to you listening in Halmsted, Sweden!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. For those who have followed my global podcast for over 4 years you know that Fridays are all about Story Prompts. It's an opportunity for you to “Write THAT Story!” based on your ideas and creativity after listening to the episode, the question, and the prompt. But what if you don't know how to begin?At its most basic a story is 3 parts: beginning, middle and end. But you knew that, right?What you might not know is my storyteller secret: a story is something was (beginning) + something happened (middle) + something is (end).3-Step Tip: Step 1: Enjoy 15 minutes of free writing just to get your creativity going. Step 2: Start your story at the end, the place where something is as a result of what happened, what came before. Now you have a conclusion, a finale, a resolution to write toward. It's like having a goal or a destination. Step 3: Once you have a sense about where you're headed, your task is to get there.Story Prompt: 3 parts to a story, 3 steps to how to create it. Write that story!

As a species, we're pretty judgey. As working writers, we're constantly having our work judged. Sometimes it can feel like how someone feels about our writing is how they feel about us. When we add our own judgement of somebody else's judgement, things get sticky. Fear of judgement (by an editor, a friend, an anonymous reader who leaves a comment, or even ourselves) can be a major blocker. This episode is a bit shorter than normal to give you some time to write into a prompt in your freelance journal.

Please don't @ me, the title is correct. ;) TK (or a similar place holder, eg “XX” or writing a NOTE IN ALL CAPS) is a practical tool to take to remind yourself that after the current drafting phase you'll need to come back and add some more content or context. Many writers implement TK when they want to stay on task–eg the words are flowing and they recognize it's better to stay in writing mode–but I want to encourage you to also try it when you DON'T want to stay on task. Writing a draft without toggling writer mode/editor mode back and forth allows us to get it done much more quickly. As you practice staying in draft mode, without switching tasks, your ability to concentrate and focus will improve.

This month we are teaming up with igotout.org, throughout the month of November, follow along with us as we share education, survivor stories and ways you can join in on the movement. Each episode this month will include stories of cult survival, including the abuses described in Dr Steven Hassan's BITE Model. This episode in particular deals with covert abuse, along with a variety of triggering subject matter. Please use discretion when listening. Have an MLM CULT STORY to share? Email me! | Send a voice message! | Submit ANON These stories will be used in anthology episodes for Commercial Cult Awareness Month with IGotOut.org! Gerette Buglion spent over 18 years in a cult that manipulated her dreams and kept her stuck in an endless chain of enlightenment masquerading as a cult. Since leaving her everyday cult, she's written a book about her experiences, helped found a movement, changed countless lives and encourages other cult survivors to embrace their story, by using an incredibly powerful tool, the written word.
