Barany here for the How To Write The Future podcast. This is a show for fiction writers specifically, science fiction and fantasy writers who want to create optimistic stories. I really believe fiction is so, so powerful in how people perceive themselves and the world. And if we can change just a little bit help people open up their hearts and their minds into new ways of thinking and new ways of being, wow, we have a superpower. Writers, fiction writers, storytellers, we have an amazing superpower to help change the world for the better. So, thanks for joining me here today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today I want to talk about the key to creative success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I call it the three-legged stool. Really it&#8217;s about getting the support you need. Now, some people might think that this is off-topic: how does this relate to your theme of how to write the future, building positive, optimistic stories. And all that goes into that. And actually I would say, this is the 30,000-foot view to being a writer. Or if you want to say the global view or a global view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please recognize this is only my perspective. And you&#8217;re welcome to take whatever is useful here, and leave the rest. And I trust that you will do that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when I was younger, and especially when I was starting my business helping writers, I really thought, if I learned one more thing, then I&#8217;ll have my act together, then I&#8217;ll succeed. I also honestly, still feel a bit like that as a writer, but less with a sense of urgency. When I was starting learning how to write fiction, I knew that I really needed to just start writing fiction. And yeah, that&#8217;s absolutely what I needed to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because it was so daunting at the initial stages to do that, I knew that I needed some kind of group accountability. So I joined a fiction writing group. So that I would put myself under a little bit of a pressure cooker, so that I would turn out pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then when I started my business helping writers as a writing teacher and a writing coach and a creativity coach for writers&#8211; As I started doing all the things you do to have a business, I realized that there are so many things I didn&#8217;t know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then I started encountering this term: the unknown unknowns and discovering that especially for people in business who are looking forward, who are looking into the future, there always seemed to be these unknowns that they could not predict. And we&#8217;ve all seen it in the upheavals of the last few years. There always seems to be things that are gonna upend us as if we&#8217;re hit by a sneak wave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I had this feeling: if I only learn one more thing, then I&#8217;ll have my act together. Then I&#8217;ll succeed. I&#8217;ll be a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of thinking basically ruled my every day. And often I didn&#8217;t even know it. I didn&#8217;t even know that it was driving me. And also it made me feel always incomplete. There&#8217;s something wrong. There&#8217;s something wrong with me. There&#8217;s something I&#8217;m missing that kind of thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then as time went on and I really settled into my work of helping other writers, I started to relax, and realize that when I was of service, I would feel more fulfilled. I was feeling more fulfilled and I do feel more fulfilled. I am definitely the kind of person who&#8217;s hardwired to be a teacher, to be a coach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And until I got that part of my business actually happening, until I was actually serving people, I felt unsettled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both getting support from my fellow writers as in my peer critique groups&#8211; and I&#8217;m still in a peer critique group&#8211; and also working with writers, being a teacher, a coach, and constantly learning&#8211; through books and lectures and meetings and all kinds of things, videos&#8211; until I had all these three pieces operational, I felt something was missing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;ve come up with this idea, this picture. I call it the three-legged stool of success. I&#8217;m coining it now. You heard it here now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have this three-legged stool in my house. It&#8217;s black and white. It&#8217;s white with black splotches. It looks like a cow, and it even has a pink udder on the underside of the stool. The stool came from my grandfather who was very artsy and had fun, quirky furniture like this in his house. And now I have it. So when I think of a three-legged stool, I think of this quirky little white black cow stool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I really think that as writers we need all three components.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>First Leg: The Teachers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These three elements are: one: the teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to learn all we can about our chosen art and craft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning to be a novelist, frankly, it&#8217;s a lifelong endeavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So who are our teachers?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our teachers are the books we read, the courses we take, the people who have walked the path before us, and our own life experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those are our teachers as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So to be good as a novelist, we need to learn. And without education, it&#8217;s hard to get better, and it&#8217;s hard to improve on what&#8217;s gone before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s leg number one.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Second Leg: Our Readers (Those We Serve)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leg number two specifically &#8212; I see it as our readers. Those are the people we serve as novelists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or if you are also providing a service &#8212; the people you serve &#8212; your students, your clients, your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As novelists, we get support back from our readers in the form of money when they buy our books, reviews, shares, any kind of support that they give us through how they talk to others about our work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I truly believe that we write to be read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So without having an audience, it can be hard to keep going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And this is why I have a beta reader team, so I have people who can look at my pages before they go out into the world. And even in earlier stages of my writing, I have a critique group. And even earlier than that, I have some brainstorming partners. So I use and need feedback and support from those who will read my work and those who understand that others will read my work all throughout the writing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s leg number two. Those we serve, whether it&#8217;s your readers, your clients, or my case, both.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Third Leg: Our Peers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then lastly, the third leg of the stool is our peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to hear other people&#8217;s war stories and success stories. But not advice. Advice &#8212; that&#8217;s what we get consultants and coaches and teachers to give us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need peers. We need peers who can hear what we&#8217;re doing and read what we&#8217;re doing and tell us what&#8217;s working, what&#8217;s not working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it&#8217;s not because our peers know better than us. It&#8217;s because they can see what we can&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all have blind spots. Our weaknesses and our strengths. And we need to hear about those weaknesses and strengths from other people who understand what we&#8217;re up to because they too are up to the same thing as we are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s best to be with peers who are also working towards the same goals that you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for example, in my case, I write to be published. And so I want to be getting feedback from other writers who are also writing to be published.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when I hear from people who are also in the thick of it, like I am, then we, as writers can be aware of what we&#8217;re good at, and focus on that, lean into that, strengthen that. And then also notice where we might be weak and where we can improve upon, make decisions on how we want to improve on those areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What do you think about my three-legged stool? Let me know.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m really curious to hear from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you think about my three-legged stool model or metaphor of success? Did I leave anything out? What would you add if I did?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, what works for you? How do you think of your support system as a creative writer?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lastly, what support would you like more of?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I invite you to communicate to me through social channels, through my website, and also you can leave me a voice message at How To Write The Future dot com.

Teacher support of some kind?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you need to connect and hear from your readers and feel supported that way?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or do you need peer support in the form of a critique group or feedback? Or just a brainstorming buddy? Or even someone to swap war stories with who understands what it&#8217;s like<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Event: Be A Bestseller 4.0 with Emma Dhesi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hey, everyone.
