Adriana lives in London, but thankfully it's 2017, and so nothing is stopping you from working with her.
I was particularly interested in some of Adriana's answers to her Q&A (which you can read in full here), so that's what I want
us to discuss this week.
She says the thing she struggles with the most as a writer is having "the discipline to keep writing even when I don't feel like it."
We've all been there, haven't we? Those days when the muse is absent and inspiration is miles away, but we feel obligated to try to work through it anyway.
What are some tactics you use on such days to get yourself into that chair and, as Adriana puts it, "trust in the process"?
As for advice to writers, Adriana says to read everything -- "especially things that are different from the kind of thing you are trying to write."
When I'm working on a project, I find myself reading almost exclusively within that genre. How about you guys? Do you read widely when you're writing, or do you read within your genre? (Or both?)
These are some of the topics up for discussion in this week's blog post, "Adriana Cloud on Bad Poetry, Inspiration and Reading Everything."
Which of you brave souls will be the first to share his or her angsty high school verse? I cannot wait to find out!
