And today, I want to talk to you about juggling multiple creative projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, I&#8217;m juggling three projects. A TV show where I&#8217;m writing short stories, a fantasy story that I wrote this year that I&#8217;m starting to revise, and book five in my Janie McAllister mystery series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do we do it? I don&#8217;t know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re a longtime listener of my podcast, you know I love timed writing. So that&#8217;s my big tip. And I have some special guests today who are going to give you some tips, other attendees here at World Fantasy Con.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:37] Five Minute Timer Trick\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here&#8217;s my short tip. Set the timer for five minutes. Give yourself a few words prompts as prompts. If you can&#8217;t come up with anything, ask your loved one, which is what I did tonight. I texted my husband, &#8220;Give me three words.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He gave me three words. I wrote about a paragraph. And even though I&#8217;m at the con, I got some writing done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was so fun. So I&#8217;m going to pass it along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:59] Meet the Guests<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m going to have my special guests introduce themselves. And as you know, I&#8217;m Beth Barany. I&#8217;m a science fiction and fantasy writer, teacher, coach, podcaster. I have this podcast because I believe we can shape the future with our stories. So let&#8217;s make it a good one. All right. Hang tight. I&#8217;m going to pass you to the next awesome guest.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[01:22] Valerie Frankel on Deadlines\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>VALERIE ESTELLE FRANKEL:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hey, I&#8217;m author Valerie Estelle Frankel. I am the author of 105 books, vefrankel.com, and I write analysis of Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, whatever&#8217;s hot this week, and off I go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right, getting started back, you know, a million years ago, I did take a while to get going and need motivation, so I would&#8230; guilt myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rule was before I went to bed, I had to do a two-page session and then later in the day, another two-page session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because if I said an hour-long session, I was just going to goof off on the internet. But saying in Times New Roman 12, I have to keep going until I have hit page two, that was measurable and clear and something where there was a definite limit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was allowed to goof off on the internet because I do so much mythology research and so on that I feel like my arms cut off if I&#8217;m trying to write without the internet. But again, there&#8217;s no substitute for getting to the end of those pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now, obviously with 100 books, writing has become very, very standard. It&#8217;s my default. I do feel guilty if I am, say, recording a friendly podcast instead of sitting here finding a way to do my writing all night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And as for multiple projects, I just have to prioritize. All right, I feel like writing this book, but this book was due to Publisher two weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Publisher will forgive me, and this book is about a movie that is coming out two weeks from now. And then a few weeks after that, it will be obsolete. Nobody will care about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m just going to have to pick my priorities. Oh, now my students want all their papers graded. I&#8217;m going to have to pick my priorities and know what the deadlines are because this one has to meet this deadline, and this one has to meet this deadline. And that&#8217;s how the world works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So keep on writing any of it, all of it. It all counts. It all adds up. It all will make you a writer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Awesome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[03:31] Erica Frank Picks by Mood\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>ERICA FRANK: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hey, I&#8217;m Erica Frank. I pretty much write for fun. I write fanfic and gaming projects and a couple of newsletter fanzines, and I always have a dozen of them to work on every one time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And writing for fun means I don&#8217;t have any deadlines to work with, which means no pressure, but also I always have a dozen things to do and no way to prioritize them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, I just&#8230;pick what feels good today. Sometimes, I&#8217;ve been getting into gaming with tarot cards. So I will do a tarot card draw for what do I work on today? Or what do I do with this project today?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it&#8217;s not interpreting the cards the way you would with a normal reading, but look at the card and say, Okay, King of Swords, let&#8217;s move forward boldly with this one. And switching up between fiction and nonfiction and tech projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just get something done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything is better than nothing. You can edit later. You can&#8217;t edit a blank page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[04:31] Jen\u00e9e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Darden Switches Mindsets\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>JEN\u00c9E DARDEN: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi, my name is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jen\u00e9e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Darden. I&#8217;m a journalist with KLW, 91.7 FM in the Bay Area. We&#8217;re NPR Station, and I cover arts and culture on my show, The Sights and Sounds Show with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jen\u00e9e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Darden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I juggle a lot of projects. Also, in addition to that, I&#8217;m a poet as well. And I write some of my poetry- actually, much of my poetry. It&#8217;s speculative. So I have a lot of speculative mixed, blended in with serious issues, more personal issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how do I juggle multiple projects is a really good question because I&#8217;m using my journalist brain, which is, which is, you know, writing real news. And so that&#8217;s different than writing creatively. So I guess it&#8217;s kind of like putting myself in a different mental space. It&#8217;s almost like having different personalities as a writer, I guess, if you will. So I&#8217;m learning how to leave work at work when I&#8217;m writing and being creative and then doing things that I like for pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m also too doing more of kind of like just going away to places, just doing little staycations or contacting some friends and say, let&#8217;s just go write at a cafe. So I have to really put in the effort to write creatively, and for me, because my brain is using so much creative energy to write professionally, if you will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So yeah, something I recommend doing is getting with some friends, going to a cafe or maybe even like, I know some people they take the train and they go not too far outside of where they live, and they may get a hotel somewhere and write too, creatively. And if you don&#8217;t have the money to do that, but just maybe go somewhere that you don&#8217;t normally go, that&#8217;s a good place to write, and that may can help stimulate some creativity. And as far as help you separate whatever&#8217;s going on in your personal life or whatever&#8217;s going on in your creative life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I hope that helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[06:17] Wrap Up and Next Steps\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how did you like those tips? Did any one of those tips resonate with you? Which one are you going to take with you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe listen again, take down some notes, and just pick one technique to use on helping you focus and get to work on your creative projects. All right, that&#8217;s it for this week, everyone. Write long and prosper. And that is the lights of Oakland behind me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loved this episode?
