About the podcast
In each episode, I take broad or vague writing advice and try to turn it into practical tools you can test in your own process.
I talk about developing ideas, choosing what to write, designing stronger projects, working through writer’s block, improving scenes, protecting your creative energy, and building a sustainable writing practice.
I’m not here to sell you one perfect method or a secret formula.
Everything I share is part of what I call my current best approach: what I believe works right now, based on what I know right now. A combination of my experience, experiments, mistakes, and the projects I’ve completed.
Take the tools that help, adapt them to fit the way you work, and leave the rest in the shed.
If you have half-finished drafts, constantly restart projects, or want a clearer path from idea to finished fiction, pull up a chair and join me in the Fiction Writer’s Toolshed.
And in the meantime, here’s a Make Existian toast to you, Unstoppable Maker.
May you slay false perfection
the old foe of done.
May you make all you dream of,
And let making be fun.
And may you count who can make
what you make
Only one.
Sláinte.
// Tim
