178 – A Writing State of Mind
What’s the most important skill in writing? Is it plot, character arcs, dialogue, description, pacing?
In this episode I argue that the thing that will dictate your level of success is your state of mind.

177 – Enjoy Your Writing More
Writing is self-directed, so reaching out for support is essential. It can, however, invite unhelpful comparisons with other writers who have different strengths and who are at different stages.
In this episode I explore the writing life through the lens of Martin Seligman’s Positive Psychology and think about the ways we can celebrate our triumphs at every stage.

[Writing Prompt] Party of Many or Party of One
I’m bringing you two very different writing prompts from the archives this week.
Photo by Sagar Patil on UnsplashRead through them both and see which one calls to you more strongly. Both offer different ways to cope with our current, rather contracted social circles, either by imagining a party or by focusing on delighting one person.
The Prompts
If you share you story somewhere (and here’s why you might not want to) post a link here so we can come and read it.
Leave a comment to let us know what you wrote about today, and how it went!

A Bit of a Facelift
Now that StoryADay is 10 years old, I’ve been doing a bit of tidying up around the site.
You’ve already seen the refreshed logo, but how about the refreshed shop?
Fancy taking a StoryADay course, grabbing an ebook full of prompts or advice, or ordering a StoryADay notebook or mug, to keep you company as you write?
Now you can find them all in the reorganized StoryADay store!
