Creativity and The Muse: Creativity
Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary and our last lesson before our amazing chat with our great guest. I’m so excited to talk about Creativity and I’m going to preface this by saying that the best information that you can find is actually a Wikipedia page on Creativity, I’ll link it in the show notes because it’s so good. And I know, I know it’s a wiki page but one of my university lecturers swore that it was and I’m taking his word on it. I’m also going to try and keep today’s episode a little light but there is a lot to cover, grab yourself a beverage if you…

Welcome to Creativity and the Muse
Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary Podcast and to a new topic. Whew, it was a lot and it has taken me so long to get here. To be honest? In all of that I was also fine tuning my novel. I released an aesthetic video on TikTok and Insta with a date, but that didn’t happen. But I just sent my copy edits back to my editor and she’s doing the line edits before I get my manuscript ready for my proof reader. And all the while I’ve done that I’ve just sent it to some beta readers because I’m seriously doubting my vision and the way the story…

Book Review: Unwinding The Spiral
This is going to be the kind of book review that is 100% biased. If you’re looking for one that isn’t, check out the Goodreads one that has been reposted on a few other platforms. That’s the only warning you get. So buckle in. This Book. This freaking book. It’s a masterpiece. It’s magic. I’m not even ashamed to say that I purchased the first copy, before the release date because I was so eager. And that meant that I purchased both the ebook and the physical copy. I’m not even ashamed of it. And I feel like I need to explain the beautiful soul behind the book to really…

Writer’s Block: Touchstones and How to Heal It
Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary podcast and to our last theory lesson on Writer’s Block. It’s a bit late as I had the spicy cough and was pretty exhausted. But we’re back into it. Writer’s Block is such a personal thing and I’ve loved hearing from you guys and opening up the conversation about Writer’s block because it is so different for everyone and I think that it’s a great opportunity to talk to other writers about how it feels or what you can do to help heal it, which is what we’re talking about today. There are ways to help alleviate writer’s block when you are working through…

Writer’s Block: Emotional and Environmental Triggers
Welcome back to our second lesson on writer’s block. I hope that you’ve all been productive. I know I have. Or at least I have tried to be. I’ve sent my manuscript to my editor and it’s with BETA readers. It’s making me so nervous but I’m trying to keep busy, which is good. I’m trying to get ahead with the podcast because it does take a lot of time and effort to get it done. I’m a one-woman production here. I write all the scripts, record, edit and mix all of the episodes on my own. I do have a friend who will help me with audio and mixing…
