Marc happened upon this lovely clip of writers talking to Women's Hour about their writing tips and advice. Writers such as Prue Leith, Angie Thomas, Ruby Wax, Allison Pearson and Nina Stibbe talk about how to write and how they write, and how to write that book! Jenni and Marc pull out their highlights, what resonated with them, and also how Prue Leith manages to get her laptop into the toilets at cocktail parties (what if she needs a plug? Does she carry a rucksack? Does everyone else think she's just doing a massive poo? SO MANY QUESTIONS!).   Find full show notes on our website

A special bonus episode featuring Jen's meanderings as she attempted NaNoWriMo 2019.  Jen challenged herself to write a brand new novel over the course of November. That means 50,000 words. It was, as she finds out, a challenge. That is why they call it a challenge. Join her in an audio diary to find out exactly how many words she managed to write each day and her struggles with procrastination and plot lines.   Visit our website to find the show notes for this episode

We chat about Jen's NaNoWriMo achievement, what else we've done over the end of 2019 and what books and other sources of inspiration we've found lately. And then we talk a lot about puddings.   Find our full show notes at our website

Can we get a drumroll please? ...Has Jenni done it? Is the end in sight? Has Jenni completed NanoWrimo2019?   

The Nanowrimo extravaganza continues...will Jenni keep up with her word count, or is the Crown just too distracting?

How is Jenni getting on with her NaNoWriMo month? There's only way to find out...

We're back! Well, sort of...in a twist to the POW podcast proceedings, Jenni is going it alone for a quick moment to take us on her NaNoWriMo 2019 journey. Are you in the midst of all things National Novel Writing Month? Join Jenni as she talks progress, procrastination and all things writing.

While Jenni only cleans her desk when she gets told off by her cleaner, and Marc settles into his brand new tailor-made studio workspace, we talk about the impact that your workspace has on your productivity and creativity. Looking after and improving your environment is an extension of self-care, and will help you not only avoid procrastination but also being called Mr Treebus (if you don’t know who Mr Treebus is, all is explained in the episode). It makes an impact on your state of mind and when you feel good about where you are, you’re bound to create some amazing things.
