Hi there! Four our second outing, Dave and I discuss writing when you have a day job (Dave), versus writing when it IS your day job (me) and what, if any, different strategies we might employ.
That was the idea, anyway — but Dave and I soon wander into deeper territory. Dave talks about the process of writing his memoir, the story of his recent diagnoses of Aspergers and Attention Deficit Disorder. He talks about the tricks he uses to get his “ADD brain” focused and on task.
Ultimately, we discuss the difference between being a heavy planner as a writer (Dave) and writing seat-of-the-pants style (me, until recently). And we look at ways to understanding the writing life as a whole — why different writers work the way they do, what times of year might be better for writing than others, and why saying “Harry” in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice can be therapeutic.
Have a listen. You won’t regret it.
“Harry!”
