    On Pogo Sticks and Pitch Decks (30)

    Do you get distracted? You might say that I am an *expert* at distraction. But distractions aren't without results, and now my kiddo has a pogo stick coming for his birthday and I finished a pitch deck.  Episode 30 is edited by Katie Marquette (@bornofwonder), music by Alexa Marino (@alexamarinomusic), and hosted by Kathleen Jones (@hellokathleenj).

    Ted Lasso: Believe! (28)

    (If you haven't seen Ted Lasso on AppleTV yet, RUN to your tv/laptop and watch the pilot, it's life-changing) I had my very own "Ted Lasso" moment this week, a moment so heartfelt and joyful the warmth of that moment carried me through the week. Ted Lasso is a show that feels like a warm hug, or "comfy" as I say three times during this episode. This episode is 50% discussing how great this show is, and 50% explaining why re-writing scripts is an incredible exercise for any writer.  Here is a link to the Ted Lasso Pilot script Here is a link to the book I'm reading A Serial Killers Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love, and Overcoming by Kerri Rawson As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.

  4. On Acquiring Inner Resources (27)

    On Acquiring Inner Resources (27)

    Inspired by the poem Dream Song 14, by John Berryman.  "Ever to confess you are bored is to admit you have no inner resources." It takes every ounce of willpower I have to work. I tend to be lazy and I enjoy my rest, I enjoy TV I enjoy comfy clothes and a beautiful home and I am one of those people who makes big plans and has a very difficult time following through. I have good ideas but it takes me a long long time to execute them. But 2021, that's going to change. I'm going to push myself into situations which require me to build "inner resources".  As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.

    Good Things Come To Those Who Rest (26)

    Do you have dreams of being that writer who never sleeps, glass of whisky, using a worn journal as a coaster while staring wistfully at the moon? Oh, you do? Well throw 'em out the window! Your body and mind need rest. In this episode Kathleen explains why writers (and Lebron James) depend on rest to succeed and generally just be functioning people. Don't worry, this theory is backed by light science.  As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.

    When Life is Harsh, Ask For Help (25)

    There's no prize for doing it all yourself. Asking for help is humbling and requires so much vulnerability but consider this, you're going to be humbled in one way or another. Whether it's asking for help with meals (I'll explain in the in the episode), or for career advice, or even help with babysitting - asking for help is the best way to build community, and gives you the opportunity to let others shine.  Here is Marcia Lane McGee's article, The Chauvin Verdict and the Work Before Us And here is a link to my new microphone (10/10 recommend, especially because the storage case makes it hard to misplace)  As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.

    For All The Projects I Never Finished (24)

    Every project is worth starting... but not every project is worth finishing. In this week's episode we bid farewell to all those projects we never finished, but first, we honor them. This week was tough for me and after some reflection, I realized I needed to give myself grace for abandoning ideas, half-writing movies, and stopping after a first draft.  Stay tuned until the very end of the episode which includes a special offer for our loyal listeners.  As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.

    See Life Up Close (23)

    After a short break, we're back! And I have a confession - I haven't been writing. I've been taking some time to see life up close and practice recognizing the extraordinary within the ordinary. I'm extremely hopeful that this exercise will make me a better writer and I'm positive it will make me a better parent.  As mentioned in the episode, I loved reading Friday the Rabbi Slept Late by Harry Kemelman and totally recommend it.  As always you can find me on instagram and twitter @hellokathleenj, and this podcast is at @writingmywritingdown.
