Why I am so grateful to my parents and what it means to be a man 11:57

1+ y ago11:57

11:57

In this episode, I explain why I haven't posted in a while. A lot of the stuff I have been writing is about people in my family, and I don't want to hurt them and I will need to check with them before I include things about them in my book. I am fascinated in the different influences of my father and grandfathers and my mother and my grandmothers o…

Moving from masculine to feminine 6:41

1+ y ago6:41

Advantages and disadvantages in all things 5:01

1+ y ago5:01

5:01

I am still trying to work out how to structure the section on death and endings. I have made some headway with the part on death, but I don't yet know how to fit in the part on endings. A very short piece today on the advantages and disadvantages of being alive - and being dead.Por Cecilia Poullain

Struggling with death and endings 8:30

1+ y ago8:30

8:30

I spent a long time this morning trying to work out how to structure this section of the book. I had initially written it as a series of reactions to deaths and leaving places, but that doesn't really work. I'm trying to find the through-line - the central dramatic question - and I think it might be something like: "can I come to peace with death a…

Limiting Beliefs 10:00

1+ y ago10:00

10:00

I had a section called " I can, I can't" in which I was looking at why there were some situations in which I persuaded myself something was impossible and others in which I persisted. But I realised that I needed a central dramatic question with a yes or no answer. My central dramatic question will probably be: "can I change my limiting beliefs?" w…

Happy memories 6:04

1+ y ago6:04

6:04

A slightly messy text on my happiest memories. I have shifted this section of my book to just before "Dreams and Visions" because I realised that memories are the flip-side of dreams and visions - memories are in the past; dreams and visions are in the future.Por Cecilia Poullain

More musings on time 8:13

1+ y ago8:13

8:13

I have been reading "A Happy Pocket Full of Money" by David Cameron Gikandi. I'm not quite sure what to make of this book - it is a quantum physics / spiritual guide to becoming wealthy. The author talks about seeing time in the "hear-and-now" - time doesn't really exist because there is only the "hear-and-now". This got me thinking again about dif…

How I stopped conforming 7:44

1+ y ago7:44

7:44

I thought I was going to be investigating why I sometimes conformed to what other people expected of me - or at least my perceptions of what other people expected of me - and why I sometimes did my own thing. In the end, I wrote about moving from childhood, a time of great freedom, to adolescence when I started to conform, to becoming a lawyer and …

Persistance and "I can't" - two sides of the same coin? 7:41

1+ y ago7:41

7:41

Reading back over my writing of the last few months led me to ask the question: "why is it that sometimes, I persist with something, and sometimes, I say "I can't"?" What is going on there? Is there a link between these two things, and if so, what is it? That is what I examine in today's episode - and I will probably go further with this a little l…

3:28

Not easy writing this morning. I am noticing a pattern. When I haven't been writing consistently, I have less ideas. But I did manage a paragraph about weighing myself. It's all about just sticking with it, even when it is difficult. Writing every day is what makes me a writer.Por Cecilia Poullain

From emotions and about emotions 9:19

Today, I wrote down the four major emotions - anger, fear, sadness and joy - then mindmapped what came up around them.

And the second piece was about my day yesterday, which I had been wanting to write about since it happened it was so perfect.…

How dreams form 6:38

2y ago6:38

6:38

Today, I wanted to feel into whatever it felt right to write about without being too organised about it. I wrote a couple of prompts down: "My voice is" and "Times when I wrote" and immediately, the ideas came. I am feeling a very strong pull to write fiction again.Por Cecilia Poullain

How not to start a career and other animals 5:58

2y ago5:58

5:58

I am becoming aware that I need to vary my sentence structure when I get to the second draft. I tend to write three-sentence paragraphs - a short sentence, a longer sentence then a very long sentence. I write about how boring it can be when there is nothing to do at work and indications that I was in the wrong job.…

Writing is getting easier and easier as I just "do it". I am up to Day 65 and a few words shy of 50 000 words.

Three embarrassing stories about work, and one more satisfying one 9:04

2y ago9:04

9:04

It's always a bit terrifying putting my unedited work out there, especially when I am writing about incidents where I felt so foolish. But I also think that by being vulnerable, this will somehow connect with my audience. These are three terribly embarrassing stories about work, when I was a young lawyer, and a story from my thirties when I started…

Finally finding a job I loved - at least for a while 5:28

When I haven't been writing for a few days, I really pay for it when I do get back to my desk. My first writing day is always more difficult, and that was the case today.

Central Dramatic Questions and why I love my coaching clients 8:11

Each piece of writing needs a Central Dramatic Question which has a yes or no answer. For part of my book - and my life - the Central Dramatic Question is: "Will I find a career that is personally and financially rewarding?" There needs to be an overarching Central Dramatic Question for the book and a Central Dramatic Question for each scene. I sta…

Boy it was hard to write today. I looked at my list of subjects to write about, and ended up writing about two things: my annoying habit of speaking up at the very end of a meeting and why my friend stole my German textbook. I think it is getting hard because I need to write about things that I am not proud of. I could and probably should be writin…

Bettowynd Road 7:53

2y ago7:53

7:53

I met an English writer last night. We were talking about how to "just write junk". Interestingly, this led me to write this morning about a time in my life when I was trying so hard to write well that I couldn't write at all. This then led me to remember lots of tiny details about events that happened in the house I grew up in, in Bettowynd Road i…
