Today I answer your writing questions in an ‘ask me anything’ episode. I cover loads of topics related to playwriting, theatre and dramaturgy.

Here’s what you asked: 
- How do play development workshops work, and how do you structure each day?
- What do you do when you're struggling with writer's block?
- How do you organise your life as a writer?
- Do you speak to people about your plays in early drafts, or are you selective? I ask because I find it hard to speak to people about my ideas in the early phase.
- How do you contact and collaborate with subject matter experts and sensitivity readers?
- How do you manage doubt and despair in the creative process?
- How do you switch off from writing?
- Can you suggest some music and playlists to write to?

If you enjoyed today’s episode, feel free to send through your own questions for me to answer in a follow up ep. You can reach out via email emily@emilysheehan.info or on Instagram @emilysheehan__.
