Diary of a Writer
People are fascinated with the idea of writing. So many people say, 'I want to write a novel,' but so few actually know what's entailed. The Diary of a Writer is an inside look at the life of a full-time writer, who's been writing for over a decade and actively publishing stories over that time. Messy, chaotic, vulnerable and exhausting, the Diary of a Writer should not be read by the feint hearted.
Ink will be spilt; fingers shall crack; pages will go missing.

Greek Mythology & Giving Yourself Permission to Create
Send in a question about writing you'd like to see answered on the show!
Today we're diving into a little bit of Greek mythology as a correction to myself from the last episode: Medusa (But Not Medusa). And then, we're diving into more deeper and meaningful waters about what potential unseen road blocks we have in ourselves that could potentially be holding us back from creating.
This discussion comes from a very personal experience I had recently and am hoping that by sharing it with you, it might help you to see in yourself how you might be unknowingly standing in your own way and why.
If you cannot be bothered with Greek mythology stuff (and fair enough) today's topic starts at around the 5:16 mark.
Trigger Warning: This episode makes mention of rape and miscarriages.
Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.
Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen.
Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.
