Tonight, we discussed another chapter from the book, Podcasting for Dummies by Tee Morris.

Podcasting for Publicity covers a lot of ground about what not to do as well as what to do in order to properly publicize your podcast. There are lots of great examples in this chapter that we did not go over and I urge you to pick up a copy of this book, especially if you don’t already own a copy of it!

Tonight, we will discuss another chapter from Podcasting for Dummies. http://www.podcastertraining.com

First, find a place to call your
writing space, office, writing
area, writing corner, or
somewhere your writing ideas
can run free.

Visit everyday. Yes, write
everyday.

“How long should I spend
writing?” You asked.

Write, at least, two hours
per day.

Mix your fear of writing up
into fiction, or a great piece
of non-fiction.

“What do you mean?”
Someone asked.

What do you fear? Why?

Write down the reasons
for your fear. Look at
what you wrote.

Create a character to
work through a fear
in fiction. Place him/her
in a setting comfortable
for you.

Get over any fear by writing
about it through a character,
and then come to terms with
it.

Writing through a fear helps
you understand it better.

It’s possible you’ll want to
do some research, and
write an article about it.
An essay on it is interesting.
A poem?

Also, another idea is to
have various characters
work through different
fears.

Here are some questions to
ask yourself before working
a character through fear.

Should a male or female
be best in that role? How
will the character look?
He/she will show signs of
the fear?. The character’s
behavior points to which
fear? His/her appearance?
His/her speech pattern? The
character’s quirks a result of
the fear?

What age should the
character be? Where will
he/she live? City? Suburbs?
Rural area?

Should height of the character
be included? Educational
back-ground? Is there
anything else you need
to stir-in?

If you’re not ready to attach
your name to a work, use a
pseudonym. It’s a pen name.

There’s an added benefit to
writing through your fear.
It’s therapeutic. Writing
everyday about a fear helps
you deal with it, and move on.
You’re less stressful about it,
and happier.

It’s a big step toward healing.

This is how my novel, Grave
Street House, was born.

It started out as a poem.
I kept writing until I realized
a novel was in the making.

Always, turn ideas upside
down to get other ideas.

Write about someone’s
fear. A friend? Neighbor?
Co-worker? Associate?

In closing write through a
fear to gain knowledge,
and live better. Perhaps,
you’ll write a master-piece
as a fear is worked through.
