'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness....' and all that. Keats wrote autumn well, and so did many writers who put ink to quill before him and digits to keyboards after. But what effect did the seasons have on those writers - and do the seasons have an impact on us? Does the time of year affect our ability to put pen to paper? And when we are pro…

In series 2 episode 6, we discuss the challenges of editing. Do we let our egos get in the way of refining our work?

‘Inner Snob’ asks the question ‘What should we be writing?’: should stories always have a message? Should we write to market? Should we be trying to break out of literary boxes. Should we be should-ing on ourselves?!? It’s a meaty one! Happy listening and, as always, happy writing!By The Write Off Podcast
