Author Steve Almond talks about what he's learned about good writing from 30 years of teaching writers.

A lot of writers that I work with have a problem. The problem is that they want to be a writer, but before they come to me? They don't write. Here's the thing. For a lot of us, we have to make time to be a writer. That's just how our brains and process work. There are some writers who manage to get 10 days of alone time and writer time and they power through a book in that time, but most of us aren't that wealthy or that lucky. That means to be a writer, we have to create the habit of writing. This is where James Clear's method comes into play. This guy has built an empire around helping people create habits. And he believes there are four steps to creating a habit. Those steps are: Cue Craving Response Reward This man has a ton of books and information all over the internet and bookshelves about this, but very basically, what he defines each as is: The Cue This triggers your brain to do the behavior. He writes: “It is a bit of information that predicts a reward. Our prehistoric ancestors were paying attention to cues that signaled the location of primary rewards like food, water, and sex. Today, we spend most of our time learning cues that predict secondary rewards like money and fame, power and status, praise and approval, love and friendship, or a sense of personal satisfaction.” The Craving This is the motivation, the force, the desire, the reason to act. He writes: “What you crave is not the habit itself but the change in state it delivers. You do not crave smoking a cigarette, you crave the feeling of relief it provides. You are not motivated by brushing your teeth but rather by the feeling of a clean mouth. You do not want to turn on the television, you want to be entertained.” The Response This is the habit. It might be sitting at your desk at 8 p.m. every night and writing. It might be writing 250 words during lunch or waiting to pick up your kid from swim practice. It's the habit. “Whether a response occurs depends on how motivated you are and how much friction is associated with the behavior. If a particular action requires more physical or mental effort than you are willing to expend, then you won't do it. Your response also depends on your ability. It sounds simple, but a habit can occur only if you are capable of doing it. If you want to dunk a basketball but can't jump high enough to reach the hoop, well, you're out of luck,” he writes. The Reward These are things that satisfy our craving. He writes, “Rewards are the end goal of every habit. . . .We chase rewards because they serve two purposes: (1) they satisfy us and (2) they teach us.” So, we sit down and write every day and eventually we get a book. That's super simplified, but whatever. There's also that second part about how they teach us, right? Clear writes, “Rewards teach us which actions are worth remembering in the future. Your brain is a reward detector. As you go about your life, your sensory nervous system is continuously monitoring which actions satisfy your desires and deliver pleasure. Feelings of pleasure and disappointment are part of the feedback mechanism that helps your brain distinguish useful actions from useless ones. Rewards close the feedback loop and complete the habit cycle.” So, to build a habit, he says, to change your behavior, you want to think of each step (he calls them laws) to do the behaviors. The keys, he said are these (all direct from the post linked above and below): It's pretty cool stuff, and you should probably check out his book or site if you're into this system and it rings true for you. But for writers, especially, his clues on how to break bad habits and build new ones are just wonderful. Give yourself a really obvious cue that it's time to write (an alarm/notification/specific time), and make it attractive (light a candle/put on music you actually like) and make it easy (make small word count or revision goals) and make it satisfying. DOG TIP OF THE PODCAST Pogie has some anxiety, but she works by the cue system. She makes the things she wants attractive to you via hugs and puppy dog looks.

After you write something, it might look good. It might look amazing even. But how does it sound to the reader? Is it stiff, clunky, and off key? Or does it flow? In this week's episode, I share a perspective to improve your writing by focusing more on how it sounds when you read it […] The post Ep. 316 – The sound of good writing first appeared on Just Saying.

"Poetry is not instant coffee; that is undrinkable. What is slow brewed coffee or a tea ceremony? Everything is slow, which means you can appreciate the nuances of the sounds, the cadence of the language, the content of the poems. The good young poets and the good older poets are not very dissimilar. That's because the focus of these poets is grounded on the same things and measured on the same framework: originality of thought, width of creativity, good grammar and a cogent argument. These are the elements that make good writing." - Sudeep Sen, editor, 'Converse; Contemporary English Poetry by Indians' talks to Manjula Narayan about writing in English, poetry as a tough space, attempting to build a community of poets, and the effort that goes into putting together a good anthology.

Writers, I have IDEAS. Usually a lot of them. 99% of them go nowhere. You can feel me bubbling over with ideas in every episode and even in the title of many episodes. There is so much I always want to say.Like me, Jennie Nash is an idea cannon. So between us, we come up with a lot of plans. This is all to say that first: this episode, and the 7 “Idea Factory” episodes that follow, are the result of one such idea. At the beginning of this year, I (It's KJ here) was deciding on what to do for what I hope will be my fourth novel, and Jennie and I got to talking, as we often do, about the difference between a “spark” and an actual, full on IDEA.In this episode, we talk about what makes a full idea and why it's so fantastic, in memoir, fiction and non-fiction, to have that idea in hand before you start writing a book—or why, when you hit a wall in drafting, the answer often involves going back and figuring out what that idea was in the first place. It's the first of 8 Idea Factory Episodes that will take us through my process for coming up with ideas, kicking their tires, and letting them evolve in fiction as well as involve sitting down with guests to talk more in depth about non-fiction and memoir ideas (because yes, you need an “idea” even for a book that's based on your own life.Every time I sit down to write, I wish it were easier. One of my most common thoughts is that I wish there were an instruction book. I was a gold star student back in the day. Just tell me how many words to write and about what, teach! I'm on it.Sadly writing doesn't work that way—but Jennie Nash's books, Blueprint for a Book and Blueprint for Nonfiction, really are the closest thing I've found to a guide for getting through draft after draft. I start with them, and I go back to them when I'm stuck. The Blueprints keep me on track and help me write the book I set out to write for the readers I hope to reach. They give me tools to figure out the answers to questions that I've been known to avoid, like “why now” and “why does the reader care”. But even more than that, the Blueprints serve as a reminder that while writing a book is hard, it's do-able. It's not magic, and there's no muse. There's just going at it, again and again, until you get it done. Blueprint for a Book and Blueprint for Nonfiction are available on Amazon and you can pre-order her newest: Blueprint for a Memoir: How to Write a Memoir for the Marketplace—coming August 1.

About The GuestMark Signorelli currently serves as Headmaster at Lumen Gentium Academy, a classical Catholic high school located in Boonton, NJ.  Prior to occupying this position, he was the Director for a Classical Studies program within the Chesterton Network of Schools.  In addition to over twenty years of experience as an educator, Mark has also written extensively for a wide variety of journals, including the Imaginative Conservative, Arion, Modern Age, Public Discourse, the University Bookman, and Front Porch Republic.  He currently writes at his own site, The Classical Corner, and has authored several books. Show NotesPart 1: As a master teacher, Mark brings years of experience to us about what classical writing ought to look like. Reflecting on a few of his substack essays, we explores many of his ideas and how he incorporates them into his teaching approach. In this episode, Mark unpacks what our goals are for teaching students to write while taking us back to the classical tradition of teaching excellent composition.  He also gives evidence that traditional classical writing instruction actually better prepares students for the College Board exams! Some questions and topics we cover in this episode: What is the purpose of writing? Is it simply to help student prepare for college or is there something more? How do want our students to think?  How classical writing builds authentic confidence in students What texts to use to help students learn how to write well How does a research paper approach differ from the classical rhetorical approach to writing? Part 2: Mark discusses poetry!  His experience is that students find great joy in poetry and it awakens their sense of play. It helps them develop style and voice in writing. This is a fun discussion that you will not want to miss! Resources and Books & Mentioned In This EpisodeThe Classical Corner with Mark Signorelli (Mark's Substack)Down with the Research Paper by Mark SignorelliPoetry as a Form of Life by Mark SignorelliSome Principles for a Classical Writing Program by Mark SignorelliCicero: Rhetorica ad HerenniumQuintillianThe Art of Rhetoric by AristotleCategories by AristotleShakespear SonnetsPilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie DillardThe Writer's Workshop: Imitating Your Way to Better Writing by Greg RoperThe Feynman Lectures on Physics by Richard Feynman"Introduction to Poetry" by Billy CollinsDana Gioia poetryNew Science by Giambattista Vico Mark TwainGeorge MacDonaldTolkienMontaigneFriedrich Schiller's Play DriveNotes Toward A New Rhetoric by Francis ChristensenJohn Witherspoon William WordsworthFrom Plato to Postmodernism: Understanding the Essence of Literature and the Role of the Author by Professor Louis MarkosA Generative Rhetoric of the Sentence by Francis ChristensenTales from Shakespeare by Charles Lamb and Mary LambAesop's Fables by AesopNorms and Nobility by David HicksEssays by Michel de MontaigneLectures on Rhetoric and belles lettres by Hugh Blair__________________________________________This podcast is produced by Beautiful Teaching, LLC.Support this podcast: ★ Support this podcast ★ https://www.classicaleducationpodcast.com/supportOUR MISSIONWe exist for the benefit of both parents and teachers.

This month on the Digitally Uploaded podcast, we grapple with the thorniest of issues currently plaguing video games: The role that AI is increasingly playing in the "creative" side of development. In short, it's a problem. Potentially, a very big problem. Then, to be more positive, we talk about excellent writing in games. What are some of the games over the years that have really stood out to us as examples of just purely good writing? All that, plus our usual wrap of the most interesting-looking games coming out this month. Kick back and enjoy the two-hour show... and thanks as always for tuning in!

Jess here, because I hate outlining. Hate it. It sounds boring and feels like an assignment, writing stripped of all flow and joy. I asked KJ and Sarina to help me with this problematic mindset, because my novel in progress clearly needs a solid outline and yet every time I go back to work on it, I feel irritated, frustrated and blocked. Thank goodness for my accountability buddies, because they came through for me in this episode. In fact, the moment we logged off the Zoom call, I got back to work, refreshed, refocused, and engaged in the process of storytelling.

Happy (belated) Halloween, Good Writing subscribers! In today's episode, we discuss Shirley Jackson's 1959 gothic horror novel The Haunting of Hill House. What makes this "psychological ghost story" work so well? Subjectivity. The characters tell us their subjection version of the events, which leaves the reader to fill in the gaps with maximum spookiness. Plus, we discuss a sentence that Ben called "a literary kickflip" and a terrifying walk that Emily is nominating for most romantic moment of 1959. Emily recommends Abandon Me Ben recommends (with caveats) the 2022 movie The Whale Good Writing is a podcast where two MFA friends read like writers and lay out craft ideas for fellow writers to steal.

Mark Pawlosky worked as a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, was an editor for CNBC.com, and is now using that experience of sourcing scoops to write the Nik Byron Investigation series.The first is 'Hack', it looks at Nik Byron getting the story of how top secret US surveillance technology was stolen. He needs to expose the plot and get the story before he, and it, is silenced.We talk about brevity, why it's important to keep things tight and not waste everyone's time. Also you can hear why his process is mostly re-reading and re-writing, and why he thinks good writing is re-writing.And be jealous of Mark's very own, purpose-built, writing room.Support the show at patreon.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

I'm going, to be honest with you: I'm squarely anti-hustle culture. I think it's unnecessary and puts too much pressure on people to make “Gary Vee money.” So when I saw Dickie Bush's Ship 30 project, I thought we had more of that narrative. Well let me tell you, I could not have been more wrong. Dickie's approach to writing and his frameworks can help anyone become a better writer, and Ship 30 helps brand new creators go through the roller coaster that is content creation faster, and with a better support system. There are TONS of gems in this episode, so you won't want to miss it. Plus, in Build Something More, Dickie and I talk about competitive gaming. Top Takeaways: Twitter is a “home run-based” platform that allows you to go viral with the right stuff. Generally, that's content Dickie called “Reach” content; these are tweets or threads that everyone can relate to.Dickie says creating content isn't coming up with 1000 different ideas. It's coming up with 1000 different ways to use the same idea across different platforms, so it resonates with different people.If you're struggling to come up with content, do the 2-year review: look at everything you learned over the last 2 years, and then write content for you, two years ago.

One of the difficulties of creative work, which includes writing, is that we sometimes have vague ideas about our goals. We haven't determined ahead of time what it means to win or lose. Therefore, no matter what we do, we never quite know if we have hit the mark. This is a surefire way to get discouraged and confused because we don't have a clear idea of success. When you lay your head on the pillow at night, how do you know if that day was a success in terms of writing? How do you know whether to feel good or bad about your work that day? On today's episode, Kent shares his advice for how you can always have a good writing day. *** Are you looking for a community of enthusiastic, generous writers to help you build better habits and grow your writing business?
