Episode #4: Interview with Mandy Clark

We are Jenni and Marc. We have been friends for years. We’re writing a book…

Welcome to the latest episode of "Procrastinate of Write" (POW...gettit?) with updates on our writing adventure.

You can listen to Episode4 on iTunes, Soundcloud...or right here:




Episode 4 includes:

- An interview with a wonderful friend of the podcast, Mandy Clark who self-published her very own book Mud and Marriage. She talks about her writing process, her obsession with writing and all the other elements that one might not think go into publishing your own book!
- Our first listener question!
- A progress report on how our book in progressing, we’re a third of the way through!

- Do books needs lots of themes?
- Free writing! Check out Jenni and Marc’s efforts!
- A heated dispute about the need or lack of, for alternative words for “said”.
- What reality shows would our characters choose to go on? Is it Bake Off?
- …and Jenni finally reveals her favourite word


Things we’ve learnt:
- You don’t have to be going back to school to buy a new pencil case
- Always have something on you, that you can write with!
- The book Marc was talking about, that was written in a free writing style (known as a stream of consciousness) is actually On The Road by Jack Kerouac, not The Road by Cormac McCarthy. If this tickles yer pickle and you want to find out about more popular books written this way, check out this article from Goodreads.com (you’re welcome) 
- Jenni is a walking thesaurus
- When Marc thinks of Ben, he imagines Neil Stuke (or a randomer from The Apprentice) 
- Creative writing courses. Check out what amazon.co.uk have to offer
