In deze aflevering van De Songwriting Podcast praat ik met singer-songwriter en muziekmakelaar van Breda: Anne Nederhoed. Juist ja, twee Annes met elkaar in gesprek! Het is een aflevering geworden over trouw zijn aan jezelf, maar ook jezelf ontwikkelen en nieuwe dingen uitproberen. Meer weten over mijn online Songwriting cursussen, op de Songwriting maillijst komen en gratis 100 Songwriting Subjects ontvangen? Kijk hier: https://annevandammemusic.com/songwriting    Keyspoints van deze aflevering van De Songwriting Podcast: • Bewust geen muziek studeren• Je ontwikkelen in muziek en je vocabulaire uitbreiden  • Nederlandstalige vs. Engelstalige liedjes schrijven• Filmische beelden voor je zien bij het schrijven van muziek • Wat muzikale samenwerkingen kunnen brengen • Annes inspiratiebronnen, o.a. Lewis Watson• Wat het betekent om terug naar de kern te gaan • Na een droge periode weer gaan schrijven • Songwriting is geen talent, het is een skill • Stomme liedjes schrijven • Proces vs. resultaat • Writersblock is geen extern effect, het gebeurt intern• Het doorbreken van je eigen patronen • De betekenis van muziek maken • Wat cijfers betekenen en wat het Spotify algoritme voor je doet • Liedjes in een ander jasje stoppen • Hoe je jezelf kunt blijven uitdagen Hoe je jezelf als songwriter kunt blijven uitdagen:Nederhoed geeft als ultieme tip dat het belangrijk is om jezelf uit te blijven dagen. Als je altijd alleen schrijft, ga dan eens samen schrijven. Schrijf je altijd in het Engels? Probeer het in het Nederlands. Als je altijd folkliedjes schrijft, probeer dan eens een hiphopnummer te maken. Gewoon om actief te blijven. In eerste instantie is schrijven een kwestie van gewoon doen en niet te kritisch zijn. Een manier van Nederhoed om daar vanaf te komen is door iets te maken wat zo buiten haar comfortzone ligt dat ze van te voren al denkt dat het niet echt goed kan worden. En juist in dat uitproberen vindt ze haar groei.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans@billholt8792 Autumnal Leaves - A Writer's Journey: Crafting "Memory Palace" The Dream and the Nightmare The idea for "Memory Palace" was a spark ignited by my deep-rooted love for Portland, Maine. Its rich maritime history, coupled with the emerging world of technology, was a potent brew for a thrilling mystery. I envisioned a protagonist, a brilliant yet troubled figure, navigating a complex web of intrigue, betrayal, and high-stakes international espionage. The Writer's Block and Cramp However, the path to bringing this vision to life wasn't smooth sailing. Writer's block, that insidious foe, often crept in, paralyzing my creativity. The pressure to craft a compelling narrative, coupled with the intricate details of the maritime world and advanced technology, sometimes felt overwhelming. I'd stare at the blank page, my mind a fog. Physical discomfort, in the form of writer's cramp, further hindered my progress. Hours spent hunched over the keyboard took their toll on my wrists and fingers. The pain was a constant reminder of the physical demands of writing. Immersion and Research: I delved deep into Portland's history, visiting its iconic landmarks, exploring its bustling waterfront, and immersing myself in the local culture. This firsthand experience fueled my imagination and provided a wealth of authentic details. Mind Mapping and Outlining: I created detailed outlines and mind maps to structure my narrative. This visual approach helped me organize my thoughts, identify plot holes, and track character arcs. Free Writing: I set aside time for free writing, where I allowed my thoughts to flow freely without judgment. This helped me uncover hidden ideas and break through creative blocks. Regular Writing Sprints: I committed to short, focused writing sessions, using techniques like the Pomodoro Technique to maintain productivity and avoid burnout. Frequent Breaks: I took regular breaks to stretch, move around, and rest my eyes. Hand Exercises: I practiced simple hand exercises to improve flexibility and reduce tension. Character Development: Create compelling characters with depth, flaws, and motivations. Plot Structure: Develop a strong plot with a clear beginning, middle, and end. World Building: Build a rich and immersive world, incorporating historical details and technological advancements. Pacing: Balance pacing to maintain reader interest and suspense. Dialogue: Use dialogue to reveal character, advance the plot, and create tension. Editing and Revision: Edit ruthlessly to eliminate unnecessary words and tighten the prose. #mysterynovel, #thriller, #historicalfiction, #maine, #marinefiction, #cybersecurity, #intrigue, #suspense, #bookworm, #writer, #author, #amwriting, Grandpa Bill's Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Join Grandpa Bill as he delves into the world of holistic healing, with a special focus on the miraculous properties of kelp.

Mark Twain was one of the writers who experienced the seismic shift in technology that saw authors transitioning from wriitng their books by hand to using a typewriter, then a word processor. The celebrated author was documented as reporting on the advantages, challenges and frustrations of these new methods. Other authors embraced the technology, while some stubbornly insisted that there were advantages to handwriting.  Maybe they had a point. Today's authors, who have more technology than ever at their fingertips with which to draft, wrtite, edit, and promote their written work, may also experience both elation and frustration as they grapple with tech. As a writing coach with decades of experience, Karena Akhavein, Ph.D., encourages her clients to get comfortable with basic technology lest they get left behind. Authors need to know how to type, how to use a word processing program to write, edit, and format, how to create basic social media posts, how to build a mailing list, how to save and share documents, and how to maintain a basic website... BUT... Technology is not always the best. There is still something to be said for the old fashioned pen and paper, which is why my programs such as From Idea to Published in 6 Months and DIY author include workbook and journaling exercises designed to be done by hand.  In this fascinating episode of the How to be an Author podcast, writers will learn the brain science behind handwriting, and get inspired when it comes to adopting a hybrid approach with both typing and handwriting, as it might work best for your unique case.

Could there be more to creativity's origins than we realize? What if mythic sources and irrational realms truly underpin our most visionary breakthroughs? Perhaps divine gifts flow through mortal vessels, their full power beyond any individual's claim. Inspiration might arise synergistically between human endeavor and ineffable forces beyond our ken. To create enduring works, we may need to nurture creative soulfulness as much as technical skill. For all our modern grasp of knowledge, its deepest wells may still lie veiled in shadow, their waters a grace, not a possession.New!
