Ep 15 - The process of re-writing 15:46

2y ago15:46

15:46

Re-writing gives you the opportunity to truly write your story and make sure that it’s telling a tale in a deeply engaging way. While re-writing your novel can be frustrating at times, it’s an essential part of the novel writing process. The best part about re-drafting your novel is that it gives you a chance to really get to know your characters a…

Ep 14 - Writing Snappy Dialogue 16:13

2y ago16:13

16:13

Dialogue is one of the most challenging parts of writing - or is it? After all, we all talk. But when it comes to writing dialogue, sometimes all we hear is crickets. In this week's episode of the Write Your Novel podcast, I break down my process for writing dialogue, from the nuts and bolts of setting it out on the page to what words I choose to p…

Ep 13 - The Path to Publication 17:24

2y ago17:24

17:24

The path to publication can be long and twisted. It certainly was for me, with scores of rejections, setbacks, and false hopes. In this week's episode of the Write Your Novel podcast, I tell some stories from the road both good and bad on what it took to get my debut novel Locust Summer published. What got me through - in the end - was strictly sep…

Ep 12 - Raising the stakes in your writing 18:59

2y ago18:59

18:59

Developing your own voice as a writer means writing until the story emerges. Writing what you know helps too. But taking this a bit further, what are you interested in? Inspired by? How do you see and understand the word? Looking back, my earliest interests and inspirations were all to do with mechanical engineering. And I've found a way to incorpo…

Ep 11 - How to continue the momentum in your writing 19:41

2y ago19:41

19:41

Every now and again in our writing practice, we can get into deep waters where the swimming becomes compulsive. Work flows. The days pass swiftly. And the word and page count builds and builds. This is a good thing. But it's also got some wicked snares to watch out for. Last week's episode was all about what to do when you get stuck - but on the fl…

Ep 10 - Here's what to do when you get stuck with your writing 20:00

2y ago20:00

20:00

Getting stuck is a normal, natural, and entirely frustrating part of writing anything. There's a galaxy of charted and uncharted reasons for why that happens. But I think it can be boiled down to problems in the story, turbulence in our life, or shadows in our mind. In this week's podcast, I share some of my stuck moments and how I got out of them,…

Ep 9 - I've just finished my second book. Here's what I learnt. 21:05

2+ y ago21:05

21:05

Ending a story is a great feeling. It's also kind of like staggering across a finish line after a very long and gruelling ultra-marathon. In this week's podcast, I take you into the process that I just went through of finishing a draft of my new book and what I'm going to do next. In writing, the work is never really done, is it? But finishing your…

Ep 8 - Forget publication and do the work 21:25

2+ y ago21:25

21:25

Writing a book is a long, difficult slog that requires persistence, stamina, and commitment. It also requires a foolhardy sense of optimism, because there is no guarantee of reward. Nevertheless, writers can often get stuck focussing on publication as the ultimate goal of their work. In this episode, I discuss very honestly the inner turmoil that c…

Ep 7 - My many writing desks around the world 21:17

2+ y ago21:17

21:17

Over the years I've written in many different spaces, from a laundromat at a caravan park, to a villa in Bali and even at the famous Hotel Continental in Saigon. Often I've found that these different spaces and changes of scene have inspired me and motivated me in some way. In this episode, I reflect on these different spaces and the related advent…

Ep 5 - What I've learnt one year on from publishing my novel 22:55

2+ y ago22:55

22:55

Have you ever wondered what it's like to publish a novel? On the anniversary of publishing my debut novel, Locust Summer, I dive deep into what it feels like to have my book baby out in the world for a year. I discuss how I've received compliments, reviews, and criticism, and how it feels to have someone tell you how they truly feel about your book…

Ep 4 - Rolling with rejection 22:46

2+ y ago22:46

22:46

In this episode, I talk about something many writers don't like to talk about... rejection. As a writer, you will be rejected at some point. There will be people who don't like your book, publishers who won't take you on, and reviewers who'll make not-so-nice remarks. Before I got my book deal with Fremantle Press, I was rejected more than 30 times…

Ep 3 - Good Writers Ask for Help 20:10

2+ y ago20:10

20:10

Let's talk about the importance of asking for help and seeking feedback as a writer. Although it might be tempting to write in a cave and never share your work with anyone, the only way you will ever improve is if you commit to getting feedback on your work. As I mention in the podcast, I am launching my Write Your Novel program for the first time …
