Writing is hard work.

Don’t laugh.

Writers may not move mountains, literally, but we often do so with our minds. To be a successful writer, you need to write. To write, you need to conquer obstacles and writing blocks that arise. And you need to do that quickly.

USA Today bestselling author Kelly McClymer is here to help with her podcast Hack Your Muse. Find the right hack to bust your block and get back to writing without delay.

 

Transcript:

00:00 Welcome Muse Hackers, you’re listening to the Hack Your Muse podcast with Kelly McClymer. Our mission is to help you discover your muse, and write what you want, when you want, and how you want. Today’s guest is Michelle Spiva, writing as Mychal Daniels.

01:43 Do you believe you have a writing muse? 

04:50 Create-xiety? We are mortal beings tapping into immortality. What is the cost?

11:45 The Vulnerability of writing a book. 

13:30 Attachment and detachment from creation. 

21:06 So you believe in the power of the muse. Think back to the first time you sat down and wrote. 

28:50 Your first books are your sacrificial lambs. Done is the new perfect.

If you love this podcast and want to support it with real dollars and cents, I have the perfect course for you on teachable. Meet Your Muse is a minicourse that will show you how to unleash the power of your muse while at the same time reining in some of her most creativity crushing bad habits. If you spend more time thinking about writing than actually writing, Meet Your Muse can help you turn that around. Once you’ve met your muse, you will have the keys to creating the most productive writing sessions ever, even if you only have 10 minutes a day to write.

Remember one page a day, 250 words, equals 364 pages (about 90,000 words). That could be two short books, or one good-sized book, or five or six or more short stories, articles, or blog posts. Isn’t that worth $20 in two hours or less of your time? The best perk, you will be supporting this podcast to continue seeking out the best muse hacking writers around and sharing that wisdom with you for free.
