About this listen
Welcome to the first episode of The Prickly Quill! Today, host Jeff Manning tackles the hardest part of writing a novel: actually getting words on the page when your brain refuses to cooperate.
If your desk is a mess, your spellcheck is screaming at you in red squiggly lines, and you're spending 20 minutes researching the exact height of the CN Tower instead of finishing your chapter... this episode is the reality check you need.
In this episode, we cover:
Why waiting for "the muse" is a trap (and why writing is just a regular Tuesday).
The mandatory physical workspace reset you need to do before typing a single word.
Why you MUST turn off spellcheck during your first draft.
The "Brain Dump" method for instantly curing the blank-page syndrome.
How to handle backing your characters into an impossible corner.
