0:05

Oh, here she is. Hey, lindsay, ohoy, what did you call me?

0:10

What are you doing on those rocks, my friend?

0:14

I am shaking, not stirred.

0:16

Oh, you're stuck. Yeah, i'm stuck. Well, hey, you jump on this ad-wit fuelled rowboat, my friend, because it's full of writer resources and stuff to get you excited about writing again.

0:26

Prove it. Okay, let's get past the opening theme music and let's get stuck in.

0:31

Let's Also, can you vote for Bix?

0:35

My arms are tired.

0:36

Metaphorically or actually Both.

0:43

Okay, folks, welcome back to AdWit podcast, the audio drama writing indie toolkit You need yes, you, you, you, gorgeous creative, for making amazing audio drama with the fabulous creative pod host.

0:56

writer of articles and newsletters of audio, loving joy and more.

1:00

She her Lindsay Harris Friar and Jack of all trades and instigator of things, she, her, i just want to act.

1:09

I'm just a Sarah, sarah, golden.

1:13

I do love our writing based AD chats, lindsay, me too.

1:16

So it's been a while, isn't it? We've, we've planned life, has life to the life, into us and out, and not to get too sure about this, but it seems you're stuck on your audio drama writing journey.

1:28

My friend, indubitably, yeah, okay, so put that.

1:32

Pipe out. This is a no smoking podcast.

1:35

Oh, you're no fun. Ha Well, i am when I get a groovy script in my hand.

1:40

So let's use this app to explore a myriad of cool things that get your creative doodas flowing, my doodas.

1:48

Is that allowed in audio? Yep, so, for starters, i recommend you go outside.

1:53

Yes, go on, go on, go on. Look at that beautiful sky.

1:57

I mean, have you seen the moon and Venus and Jupiter in alignment this week, lindsay, it's so cool And you know I love, i do love that you and I and all the people listening can just look up and see the same moon at the same time.

2:11

So romantic It is. It's gone.

2:14

Get out there and go howl at the moon.

2:16

Yeah, i just think about how small and insignificant everything is, and then then appreciate being right here right now listening to this with us and thinking about how we're so small and insignificant and you're entering a loop there, Sarah.

2:35

So I am. So, yeah, just get out under the best guys see some nature listeners Go on, and you, lindsay, but wait, hang on.

2:45

Yeah, actually, no, i mean later actually, because we've got a lot to get through.

2:50

So, yeah, get out and have some think time.

2:52

That always helps with creativity.

2:55

Get your bare feet buried in the lawn, why?

2:58

don't you? Sounds good. Let's get grounded, people, because it's true, isn't it, sarah?

3:02

Life can get very busy and hard and urgent, and just finding time to be is a good thing It truly is.

3:11

Are you being now? Because I'm being, i'm trying to be thinking.

3:17

Therefore, i am all that.

3:20

Good job Now, lindsay, i know you walk with your gorgeous husky dog, simone, but yeah, maybe have a few walk sessions where you know.

3:29

Perhaps, instead of a listen to podcasts, which I know you do vociferously Ooh, good word, i'm allowed three, five syllable word today.

3:36

So, yeah, instead of listening to groovy podcasts, you just listen to yourself.

3:41

Yeah, you just get a chance to talk in your own head to you know, look up, see what's in front of you, hear you?

3:49

I mean, i don't think we do enough of that anymore.

3:52

True, And we're quite good company, aren't we Me?

3:55

myself and I, we are indeed. So, yeah, just walk, appreciate nature, listen to your thoughts, or walk along and talk your thoughts, or maybe a story, just into your phone.

4:04

Easy enough, isn't it? Or, you know, let's go left field here, you don't have to be in a field.

4:11

Why not note three passerby's garb on your walk and then make up some character traits from just those costumes, make up some new characters for them.

4:23

Okay, but what if my story isn't of this timeline?

4:26

Your clothes won't fit.

4:28

Okay, well, think about the textures, the patterns and color mix and what they tell you about someone.

4:34

Or, more deeply, these folks, ancestors, huh, yeah, imagine them.

4:38

Are they better or worse off than their war-torn great grandparents?

4:42

Are they jealous of their offspring's offspring, disappointed or proud, or heavy stuff?

4:49

Yeah, i mean also. I mean, whilst we're off on some tangents, as usual, you could think about the weather.

4:57

You're in right, and make that weather the mood of your protagonist.

5:02

What's it called? Pathetic?

5:05

I can't remember. Someone will tell me Pathetic, oh, i can't remember.

5:10

For example, you know a raging, windy, storm or sunny, snowy disposition.

5:16

I mean, just look at that weather forecast for the week and you know, make each scene that mood, so it changes with the weather.

5:25

Yeah, sounds intriguing. A little test of the Durba Vils has got to be a good thing.

5:30

Yeah, it's just getting you doing right. I mean, work begets work, ideas beget ideas right.

5:35

So sometimes just just get out there into this big, bright, beautiful world and get inspired people And then you'll start to see characters in house types and cars and pets.

5:47

I mean, is writing something better than writing nothing?

5:50

No, they say, to fuel the fire is easier than sparking up a new one, do they Why?

5:55

is it folks only?

5:57

You just made that up and made me say it didn't you?

5:59

Maybe. But hey, if you don't want to or can't write, why not draw?

6:04

Yeah, draw costumes, draw weather and put on a fire.

6:08

I mean sing, sing an improvised scene into your phone.

6:12

I've got most of Mums the Musical sung into my phone.

6:17

Now I just need to transpose it and find someone who can like music Fun time.

6:22

So, yeah, have a go at saying things rather than writing things.

6:25

Sometimes Dictate it and see what happens.

6:28

Okay, i will, i might, It's a start, but it's a little sporadic and spread out and sprawling for my liking.

6:36

I mean, okay, i like these ideas and, yes, i can try them, but there has to be more.

6:43

Lindsay, there's so much more. I mean, i haven't asked you your budget, but how do you feel about a course, an online course?

6:49

to enthuse you, it has about a splash out of a few dollars to do the Audio Drama 101 course for those folks from Wolf 359, an unseen WLA, bina Zach Valentin, sarah Shackett.

7:00

Oh, is that the Fear of Public Shame group?

7:03

There's links in the show notes. Oh, yeah, you know what?

7:06

I'm definitely interested in what they're doing.

7:09

That sounds really great, but that's for making an audio drama as a whole And at the moment I don't have a budget And also, i have created audio drama before and maybe that course is for beginners or for people with a different focus and less experience.

7:24

You're right. Yeah, it's a great course, though I mean I've got to say, and if you're interested as a beginner in making audio drama and not just writing, there's also the amazing Fred Greenhouse free course, which I took a few years ago, and it is glorious.

7:39

That's the final Runecom one, right? I love that course.

7:43

I have it bookmarked in my phone to tell myself to watch it, because I think he's really got a good point of view.

7:51

I love Fred. So how about inspirational podcasts?

7:55

What kind of podcast do you think I should listen to More?

7:59

inspirational and groovier than this one.

8:01

Oh, you listen to the podcast, if it's possible.

8:03

If it's possible, it might be.

8:06

Do you listen to the podcast? No bad idea, not yet It's a fun one.

8:10

It's a fun one. They chat on an idea and they talk it through and see where it goes.

8:15

It's very inspiring. Here's the blurb from their website.

8:19

Do you want to share it with the adwissions?

8:22

For our listeners. I do anything. I quote no bad ideas.

8:27

It's a storytelling game show where we take the worst ideas from the internet and try to turn them into stories that are actually good.

8:34

I kind of love the idea of hearing creative writers flesh out a story from an intriguing starting point and get creative for real life or imagined scenarios.

8:42

Okay, we're getting warmer here. Any more cool podcasts.

8:45

Well, there's right now.

8:47

You mean living in the moment. Yes to that too, but the ever brilliant Sarah Ray Werner is making episodes on a writer interview podcast where she just chats to all sorts of amazing writers, all sorts of mediums, from novelist and flash thick folk to audio folks, about the craft.

9:04

I mean it's truly groovier, It's calming and very inspiring, and I also enjoy a dip into writing with Hattie Crissel podcast.

9:14

It looks and shows.

9:16

Is that audio fiction specific?

9:18

No, no, it's a mixture of novelist and songwriters, comedy writers and more, but still a good listen.

9:24

And for more audio fiction inspiration, why not try Keef W Tim's first episode of it looks at folks first episodes and is our great chat.

9:34

And it's great to see some behind the scene audio creatives chatting, isn't it?

9:38

Also, they do that on radio drama revival and Sonic society too, so do check those out.

9:45

Okay cool, i will check more of that out, No excuses, oh yeah, How's about writing excuses?

9:51

Yeah, it's a 15 minute writing pod and describes itself as I quote a fast paced, educational podcast for writers by writers.

9:59

It airs weekly, with new episodes appearing each Sunday evening at around 6pm Eastern time.

10:04

Episodes vary in length from 15 to 25 minutes, but are usually less than 20 minutes long.

10:09

The tagline 15 minutes long because you're in a hurry and we're not that smart isn't super accurate time wise, but it's a high queues that we're keeping it.

10:17

Our goal is to help our listeners become better writers, whether they write for fun or for profit, whether they're new to the domain or old hands.

10:24

writing excuses has something to offer. We love to write and our listeners do too.

10:29

Oh nice.

10:31

I think I'm going to dip into that one. Great Okay, enough of other podcasts.

10:35

What if I want to feel more spontaneous in my own writing?

10:39

Well, neil Jones and friends have an improvise your writing course that runs a few times a year, and have you ever just typed in writing prompt to a search engine?

10:51

I mean, if you're not sure where to start and you are well and truly stuck as to where to start, try that and get writing.

10:58

In fact, should we give it a go right now?

11:01

I'm game, okay, best typing fingers already.

11:05

Okay, ready, there we go.

11:09

All right, okay, follow the link in our show notes.

11:12

You got the page up, lindsay, i do 500 writing prompts to help beat writer's block by Kelsey Worsham at written word media.

11:18

Okay, what genre do you fancy today?

11:21

Oh, i wanted some super Supernatural or a bit of fantasy.

11:26

Okay okay, give me a number between one and fifty.

11:30

I'm gonna click on paranormal, actually, i think.

11:32

Alright, i'm gonna give you a number, between one and fifty, um forty-two.

11:37

Here's the prompt Ba ba, ba, ba ba.

11:40

Write a story that includes a character hearing their fate by a fortune teller.

11:45

Okay, i'm gonna set a timer, folks, and we have two minutes to start a dialogue with two people from that prompt.

11:51

Are you ready? Yeah, three, two, one go.

11:54

I'm gonna add some inspiring music here, lindsay.

12:01

Oh, you're so good.

12:23

Keep writing folks. Keep writing folks.

12:26

Okay, whatever comes to mind, do not let that pen leave the page Or the finger leaves that keyboard.

12:30

Go, go, go.

12:32

That's one minute gone.

12:55

One minute gone.

13:04

One minute gone, 30 seconds left, 10 seconds left, damn it.

13:56

Ugh, that would have been faster if I had typed, but my brain relaxed more because I wasn't typing.

14:04

I think that's really interesting. actually, what kind of groovy pen have you got there, ma'am?

14:11

This is a pilot G2-07 and this is.

14:14

I highly recommend these, but what I don't like about them is I mean, they are refillable, but people tend to think of these as disposable pens just like a basic.

14:25

It's a rollerball and they are literally the best pens ever.

14:29

However, i prefer using a refillable fountain pen, but that's a whole other episode.

14:35

More apps glorious. Do you want me to read you what I've got?

14:38

Yes, please, my friend. Okay, so the problem is that it doesn't have context, but anyway, okay, she waved the king of cups at me like a nagging flag.

14:49

You already know what you're supposed to do.

14:52

Nick the fortune teller said I inhaled deeply and silently, prayed to Jesus.

14:56

I knew the coach wanted me to get out of my head.

14:59

It's not my favorite play, i said, but you gotta do it Again.

15:04

Probably could have gotten more in if I'd been typing, but that was a For context.

15:12

I was imagining Nick Foles getting a tarot card reading right before the Super Bowl that he played in, where he threw the winning play Insane.

15:25

Oh, you're giving away the ending.

15:26

You think All I thought of was I was like I was like well, what would you see in a reading that would spark you to feel one way or another?

15:35

So I was like, okay, a cup. So okay, let's see what that does.

15:39

No, i think the world does need more Super Bowl based audio dramas, right, uh-huh, uh, i love that you've used Tarot Grievilly, that great source of drama that you've tapped into.

15:51

I think there's much that can be made from a tarot deck.

15:54

You know what I mean. You know what I mean. I think it's being made, but there's room for more.

16:00

Um, okay, do you want to hear mine then?

16:02

Mm-hmm, yo, so I reckon you need to sit down for this.

16:06

What? Ah, so you should make sure you do not go up above the level of a one-story building for this week.

16:14

Why? I see falling, falling, yeah, like from grace, no, from an airplane.

16:20

Please do not do that this week. So, falling, it doesn't end well.

16:25

So what? you die, oh, so you see that in the ball, yes, in your hands, yes, oh, my God, ha, ha, ha, ha In the ball.

16:37

You see that There's so many things and so many balls.

16:40

You wouldn't believe Lindsay. And this one says Huzzah, as we have written something.

16:46

Yes, we've written something and it feels good.

16:48

Right, as a star, isn't it? Yeah, if you've managed to write something, do send it to us, please at writersadwittatgmailcom.

16:55

Yes, please do send it to us because we would love to read it.

16:58

It doesn't necessarily mean that we'll read it on the show because we've got.

17:03

Well, what else have we got? I'm getting pumped here, sarah.

17:06

What else have we got? What else have we got for writing unstuckness?

17:09

What else have we got?

17:10

Well, you could always jump on the writing evenings that Julie Hoverson hosts.

17:14

She does a reading and feedback session of new writing online every Wednesday.

17:18

All abilities, experience are welcome.

17:21

Yeah, we should do that. Yeah, i'm sure it is, we should.

17:24

I did one or two for the old Audio Drama Hub virtual pub sessions.

17:27

I might do those again, some when? And do look out on the Audio Drama Hub Facebook group for other folks like Paul Spencer running these scratch night sessions online Or, to be honest, lindsay folks could start their own right, absolutely sure could.

17:40

I guess they could put an ask into the fiction podcast weekly to save the time and length and folks could find fun from there.

17:47

Yes, super resource, that newsletter. Lindsay, you're a legend.

17:51

Truly, you are too kind. You are too kind, you absolutely are too kind.

17:56

So, let's say, i use some of these suggestions and I get unstuck and I've written something I actually like and I've finished it.

18:03

Where can I put it? Who can I get to produce it if I just want to share it with the world?

18:07

Sure well, if you don't have the time, skill or inclination to make it yourself, there's such a lot of amazing opportunities.

18:14

I mean I've just started. I'm very excited, a groovy job as production manager with Wireless Theatre under the super amazing Marie-Elle René Quebec, and they have an open submission window.

18:26

people Check the website and send them your good stuff submissions at wirelessthetacouk.

18:32

I mean they might want to produce it.

18:35

right, you could be working with me. Don't let that put you off.

18:42

I know the radio drama competition in England is a great one for getting international scripts.

18:46

Yeah, yeah, the deadline is usually at the end of the year, around November, and then there's live judging in March annually in person.

18:54

Yeah, there's also the pen to print audio drama competition.

18:57

That's for new writers and open, as we record this, till the 31st of March 2023.

19:03

And they're after script of 30 minutes, four to 5,000 words long.

19:09

I just found out about that one yesterday because you told me about it.

19:14

Pazazz. We're telling pals about groovy opportunities.

19:17

Do share these fine people.

19:19

Do, do, do, do. And I was a voice actor in the winning script from this year Oh good, it's very exciting By Frazier Armitage postcards from another world.

19:29

It was produced by the inimitable Chris Gregory of alt fiction, and such great fun.

19:34

Please do go listen and tell the author what you thought of it, because I think it's groovy.

19:39

Oh, and Austin Film Festival is currently looking for the next amazing thing deadline of 23rd of March before prices hike up for those scripts.

19:50

It's $40 at the moment, so go get them kids.

19:54

I think that I think the Amelia Project was an Austin Film Festival honoree.

20:03

Yes, a couple of years ago. Yeah, they came second.

20:06

I think They was Robert Atelier.

20:08

Yeah, And the five seasons in there.

20:11

I saw their article and a few years ago on Top Tips for Audio folks.

20:14

It had some great advice from folks like Casey Whalen who said find a story that suits the medium.

20:20

In terms of finding the right story to tell, i think that sound has to be the character and the main driving force behind every choice that you make.

20:28

Why am I telling the story in audio only?

20:31

This is my favorite question with writing.

20:34

Why is it not a visual medium?

20:36

And I think once you figure out that question and the angle of which to tell the story, i think that's kind of the key to find the oral way of saying this rather than showing it visually.

20:46

Yeah, i do love that. Yeah, casey Whalen and all the folks I have on NDAF have tons and tons of advice to share on producing and writing.

20:54

So, you know, do find that resource and lap it up, folks.

20:57

I've got many of the greats we know and love, including Paul Bay, faith McQuinn, lauren Shippen, who was also quoted in a previous Austin Film Fest meet as saying brilliant and useful things like use silence to your advantage.

21:12

Silence, too, is a really good resource, because most people who are listening to audio drama have seen TV shows, they've seen films, they've seen plays and from context, you imagine what the silence is.

21:23

You're going to feel that silence yourself and that can make it even more exciting as a listener, because you can't actually see what the expressions are on the actor's faces.

21:33

But given what just came before that silence, you're going to fill in that space and you can imagine whatever you want.

21:50

Is that enough silence for effect?

21:56

No, there can never be too much.

22:09

Okay, clever clogs. What about writing specific courses?

22:13

I do love courses. Should I do some writing courses?

22:17

You want to pervericate or feel like you want to learn from someone else, then call Do some courses.

22:21

I mean, I prefer you just cracked on a rote, but you want courses, do courses.

22:28

What's out?

22:28

there. Well, you could try an EDX or MOOC M-O-O-C course.

22:33

Some are free. There's Udemy too.

22:37

I did an editing course on that in Audacity a good while ago.

22:41

Frontierms Yes, there's lots there to get involved with online and you can do them at your own pace, right, which is often the best pace there is.

22:49

There's UK based in-person online Avon courses too.

22:53

City Academy, london Lit Lab, cardiff University Oh, they all do a short course in some cool writing elements.

23:01

And there's, of course, bigger time commitment in MAs and MFAs, in kids writing, creative writing and so many much writings to get you a masters and those groovy letters after your name, if that's where you want to get you enthused and well structured.

23:18

Oh, hang on. You did an MFA, didn't you?

23:21

Lindsay? All over the place, how long was that for?

23:24

Four years, four years. Four years, four short years, a few of them good.

23:33

And of course there's Goldsmith courses, city Lit courses and even the National Film and Television School.

23:38

Radio courses in the UK can lead you to all sorts of new writing adventures.

23:43

I guess it all depends. If you have a budget, though, right, there are places to get help for that with sponsorship opportunities and hardship funds for most bigger courses.

23:54

Yeah, well, what about people who?

23:57

I want to make sure I'm using the right terminology.

24:01

What about hello, listeners from the disabled community, if that's the correct terminology?

24:08

I want to make sure I'm not screwing this up. We'd love to hear more about what you're writing to, so drop us a line at writersadwood, at gmailcom.

24:16

I mean, come on, sarah, you know stuff.

24:19

There must be funding for disabled creatives to help get finance for projects.

24:22

Surely?

24:23

Yes, yes, there's various grants, but do research for your local area and see if there's a groovy group near you.

24:29

There is a company called Elevate as well.

24:33

Now, elevate is a cool, accessible program for disabled creatives with grants around $10,000 to develop some work.

24:40

So get stuck in folks.

24:42

Links in the show notes.

24:45

Actually, one thing I want to add, or see in the UK it's so much easier to get funding for training like this.

24:55

the US it's a little bit more difficult, but it depends on your state.

25:00

So check your state, check your state, check your county.

25:04

and another one that I believe it's Danielle DeSere runs a list of grants and funding opportunities and assistance in general for podcasters of color.

25:21

I don't know if it's just women podcasters of color or if it's just podcasters of color in general.

25:27

I don't know the specifics, but her last name is spelled D-E-S-I-R and she has a mailing list about that.

25:34

It's just that it's uh, i forgot to mention it, but I'm glad that we're talking about it now.

25:40

But you know that, see, like one of the things in, in some states big corporations are required to give a certain amount of money to the arts.

25:49

Is there any help from the big guns?

25:52

Well, there's so many links and good resources in the BBC radio drama page right Huzzah for the Beerish here.

25:58

Oh like what Well scripts you can read, format guides, producers talking about the craft writing, the arches home front, just great stuff to just get you thinking, reading, analyzing and hopefully doing.

26:10

But hmm, lindsay, what about collaboration?

26:14

Do you want to write with someone else?

26:17

Well, maybe, but where do I find these?

26:21

these uber legends to who are interested in collaborating Well you could put a call out on the fiction podcast news weekly or the audio drama hub or circle community on their podcast host.

26:31

I could. I could Look here.

26:34

Go look, read this. It's from Misha Stanton and one of many articles of cool on the multitudes website.

26:41

Okay. question when did you start to look for co-writers?

26:46

Where do you find them? Misha answers After the first season of ours, paradoxica, when it became clear that it was going to be a project too big for one writer, we went to our friends, we asked friends to recommend other friends and we scoped out Facebook posts of people we liked, people who spoke with a clear voice and a definite passion.

27:05

A few of them had never even published fiction before.

27:08
