À propos de ce contenu audio
I struggled with separating the concepts of Fiction Farming vs. Fiction Cooking for a long time.
And while it might sound strange, confusing those two modes may be quietly destroying more writing momentum-- and more long-term creative joy writing fiction-- than almost anything else.
In this episode, I introduce a distinction that completely changed how I understand procrastination, "writer's block," and the shame spiral that comes from sitting down to write and walking away feeling like you failed.
I call it Fiction Farming vs. Fiction Cooking.
You'll learn:
-
Why your brain uses these two different modes
-
Why judgment kills ideas in one mode-- but is essential in the other
-
How mixing the two creates unnecessary friction and ultimately leads to not writing
-
And how to diagnose which mode you're actually in before you sit down to work
This is the first episode in a short mini-trilogy about subtle habits that quietly erode writers' confidence over time.
If you've been hard on yourself lately, this one might bring some relief—and a clearer path forward.
