I used to only reach for writing when I was already stuck, which meant I was always playing catch-up. What I've learned — slowly, and not always consistently – is that writing isn't really about being a writer. It's about finding the story underneath whatever you're trying to make: where you are, where you want to go, and what you actually care about saying.
In this episode I get into the science behind why it works (James Pennebaker's expressive writing research and Angus Fletcher's argument that our brains are literally wired to think in narrative), share how writing my way through confusion is what eventually led to this show, and leave you with a simple four-day practice you can try this week – no craft required.
