WCP245 Archives: 🐶 Monday mornings on the mountain with Mishka
09/19/23 • 32 min
1 Listener
On Monday mornings I used to be cranky and anxious. It’s not a great combo any time, and not a great foundation for the week ahead.
Then I created a ritual to help me transition ... and I actually look forward to that time when I get to look at my writing projects from a totally different perspective.
Creating a ritual or two in your writing life can provide structure, meaning, and momentum.
This episode is in memory of the patron puppy saint of the Writing Coach Podcast, Mishka.

WCP244 Freelance feast or famine
In one week, you might have a pub that you’ve written for for years fold, receive an email from an editor who said she loved your pitch now asking for a ton of edits, sign a contract for a new book, and have a source ask to reschedule an interview.
It seems there’s nothing as constant in change in the freelance writing world ... and yet so many freelancers seem continually surprised by the meta pattern of change.
In this episode we look at handling change as a freelance writer in general, and then focus in on the pattern of feast and famine.

WCP246 First Tuesday: Write that pitch
Sometimes you AND your pitch need to get out of your head and out into the world.
On the first Tuesday of the month, I’m hosting co-pitching calls where freelancers work on their pitches together.
This month I offered a few short prompts for those who needed it. Here I elaborate on ways to approach these prompts, your story idea, your editor, your readers, and your mindset.
