Welcome back to How To Write The Future podcast. I&#8217;m your host, Beth Barany and I am a creativity coach, a novelist, and a podcaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today I&#8217;m going to read from one of the sparks in my book, Overcome Writer&#8217;s Block. And I want to set it up a little bit and then I will read it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So this podcast is about supporting you science fiction and fantasy writers and anyone who cares about the future to write positive, optimistic stories so that we can envision what is possible so we can help make it so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that is tough. We as human beings are hardwired to see the worst to predict or plan for the worst. It&#8217;s all about survival and it makes total sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing we&#8217;re not super good at as humans is how to be happy, how to plan for the best, how to design for the best. So stories allow us to think about what could be in a positive way and to ask those<\/span><b> what-if questions a<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bout how our civilizations, our cultures, could be designed differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a lot of courage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So in this spark, it&#8217;s called Escape Into Your Art: Seven Ways To Get Out Of Your Own Way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now I wrote it over a decade ago. And I don&#8217;t necessarily think getting out of your own way is today how I would name it. Nevertheless, the tips that I share here are all about helping you be brave, take that risky move of expressing what you really think and feel. And I think we need that courage to create positive, optimistic futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So enjoy this spark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I will jump into the end to add a few words. All right, here we go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Escape into your art:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Get Writing: Seven ways to get out of your own way\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here&#8217;s a quote from a circle of quiet. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Crosswicks Journal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Book One by Madeleine L&#8217;Engle. One of my favorite writers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When we are self-conscious we cannot be wholly aware. We must throw ourselves out first. The throwing ourselves away is an act of creativity. So when we wholly concentrate like a child in play or an artist at work, Then we share in the act of creating. We not only escape time. We also escape our self-conscious selves.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s the quote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We must take action to create our art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We must play at it as a child approaches playing. I love this Madeleine L&#8217;Engle quote, and I want to share with you how we can escape into our own art. How to open the door into the sumptuous world of our creativity. I&#8217;m assuming you know what your art is that you know how you want to apply your creative energies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you feel stymied in some way. If you don&#8217;t know what your creative art is, then I suggest you remember and identify it. You could also read about Spark Seven, the Passion For Writing. Or read it directly in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcome Writer&#8217;s Block.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was your favorite game or pastime as a child? Think back to how you spent your time. For example, I love playing Ollie Ollie Oxenfree, a complex version of hide and go seek with friends and siblings. We loved playing Capture The Flag, exploring the nearby wine grape vineyards, and playing in abandoned fields, full of burrs and blackberry brambles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also love curling up with a good adventure story, like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misty of Chincoteague<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lost Prince.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time to take action. Any action will do. Okay. Almost any. If you need more clear direction, then below are six ways to get out of your own way. Do one or do them all. The point here is to get out of your own way and create in place of love, enjoyment, and play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #1<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way Number One of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Play.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With reading, I loved and still love diving into another world, so completely different from my own, and coming out of the story refreshed. And so in love with that other place. It makes this place, my own place, stand out is foreign and intriguing. I&#8217;m always on an adventure and this, I love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you love about the games you played?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dig beneath the pleasure and describe its elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #2<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m in love with my current piece of fiction. It&#8217;s characters, setting, and problems. I can&#8217;t wait to return to that world so I can sit in the angst of the problems I&#8217;ve created and move my characters to some kind of resolution. I love that exploration. Because, although I know where I want my characters to go, I don&#8217;t know exactly how they will travel there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or if they will really succeed in their missions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify the thing you love about your writing, your art. Identify it and allow yourself to sink your teeth into it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Madeleine L&#8217;Engle says, &#8220;We must throw ourselves out first and become our art creating itself.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #3<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way Number Three of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Time Limits.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set the timer for 20 minutes, more or less is fine, though I found 20 minutes to be optimal for writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write about all the reasons why you can&#8217;t write. If you find yourself writing about other things, great. The point is to move your pen across the page without stopping until the buzzer rings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or write about what you want your writing project to really be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #4<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way Number Four of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Tracking.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;re ready to work. The computer is on or notebook and pen or pencil is in hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it&#8217;s time to note your starting time, page number, and starting word count. A spreadsheet can help you do just that. A tracking sheet, that helps you, well, track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just what you&#8217;ve done and for how long. It tracks that you&#8217;ve done it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathe. Congratulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Showing up and following through on your creating is what it&#8217;s all about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #5<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way Number Five of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Map.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A leadership trainer and friend, Greg Norte, taught me a Map is a Major Accountability Partner. Maybe this person is a life partner, business partner, colleague, or creativity buddy. Call them at the start and at the finish to report in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrate your successes and shore up any challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekly as best, I have maps in all areas of my life. Go, team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Way #6\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Way Number Six of Getting Out of Your Own Way: List of 20.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of my favorite exercises appealing to both the left and the right-brainers out there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This exercise can be used for any kind of creative project and yes, of course, writing. It&#8217;s great in fact, for story and idea generation in any area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are five steps to implementing the simple, yet powerful tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/79.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27331 size-full\" title=\"Quote from Get Writing: Seven Ways To Get Out of Your Own Way\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/79.png\" alt=\"Quote from Get Writing: Seven Ways To Get Out of Your Own Way\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/79.png 300w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/79-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>The 5 Steps to Implementing The List of 20\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Step One: Set Your Intention For The List.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, decide what you&#8217;re going to use the list for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you could decide to list out 20 possible plot ideas; terrible scenarios for your hapless characters to fall into; or 20 ideas associated with a big lifestyle change. Or the question: what do I really want with this creative project?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step Two: Get Ready.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number your page down the left-hand side, one to 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step Three. Get Set.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know that you will list 20 items, even if you repeat yourself, even if it doesn&#8217;t make sense, what you write.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step Four. Go.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write your list of 20. Don&#8217;t stop until you&#8217;ve reached the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Step Five.

I take a little field trip down the hill to my neighborhood Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California. Like today, I took a field trip to one of my favorite coffee shops. Peet&#8217;s Coffee; sat in the little plaza and enjoyed the mural and the passersby while I wrote; then went to that wonderful resource, the public library, and popped into a fun new store in the neighborhood, Issues, with their wacky and wonderful magazines and newspapers from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where can you go to mix things up, get inspiration, spur yourself to action, feed your fire?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may only be a seven-and-a-half-minute walk away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, by now, you&#8217;ve been inspired to action to choose one or a few or all of the above exercises to help you wholly concentrate and share in the act of creating with your art. And to lovingly and kindly get the hell out of your own way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go be creative. Go play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks, everyone for listening to me read to you one of the sparks from my ebook <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overcome Writer&#8217;s Block<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which you can get at any, book vendor. It is ebook only.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only one detail in here is now outdated, which is Issues.
