The dreaded writers block. According to Wikipedia it is a nonmedical condition, primarily associated with writing. But it can be so much more than that. The three of us decide to tackle all our top tips and tricks in overcoming writers block, as well as having emotional epiphanies regarding why writers block can be a chronic problem as well.
On this week's episode, we discuss how each of us create characters. We explain what kind of writers we are and how that translates to the different ways each of us create compelling characters. Do we stay 100% on topic? Eh, debatable. But, we do delve into how our unique needs as Discovery, Architect, and Gardener writers who each have varying needs craft characters from scratch and through hard rewrites, instinct, and fine-tuning, and not all in the same order. Take a peek into how you too can write characters you resonate with and will bring readers back for more. Does one type of writer resonate with you? Let us know!
On this week's episode, we shall discuss our literary family trees and how writers are shaped through the media they consume and how it influences the way people create. We begin by waxing poetic about J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, because we believe in honoring our grandparents first before beginning the climb up through the branches that shaped our unique writing talents and perspectives, and we discuss why it's important to write what you are drawn to.
Welcome to Royalty Free : A Writing Podcast with your hosts Kaitlyn King, Ellie Lerum, and Melissa M. Rivers. On this week's episode, we introduce ourselves: two published authors and a passionate (unpublished) writer who reminisce on how we met, the importance of a writing community, and memories of just how much the goblin digs through drawers to turn puns into gold. We are excited to begin our journey with you all in discussing how to write, how to become a storyteller, and definitely not how we thought all of us were weird when we first met each other. We hope to get to know you just as well along the way.
Our podcast brings together a unique blend of experience and enthusiasm. You'll hear from two published authors, Kaitlyn King and Ellie Lerum, sharing years of insights into the writing and publishing world. Alongside them is an overly enthusiastic goblin, Melissa Rivers, yet to publish, but brimming with a passion for storytelling and endless questions for our seasoned writers. Together, we explore everything from crafting compelling plots and developing memorable characters to the surprising utility of clichés and tropes, and what's new in the publishing industry. Tune in each week for in-depth discussions designed to inspire your writing journey.
