    2.23 Plotter or Pantser?
    Aug 19 2024

    Hey folks! Welcome back to 5 Writers 5 Minutes. Tristan Bancks is busy at the moment so Sue Whiting has been kind enough to sit in for a few episodes. Thanks Sue!

    This week, the team chat about pantsing (writing by the seat of your pants without much pre-planning) and Plotting (spending a lot of time planing out your story before you begin writing). Which are you? Does it change with every story you write?

    Remember - there is no wrong way to write. You just have to find the best way FOR YOU!

    Aug 12 2024

    Welcome back to 5 Writers 5 Minutes! In this episode, the team chat about adverbs and adjectives, which can sound good... but say very little, while not moving your story forward!

    2.21 Making Magic Real
    Aug 5 2024

    Writing stories filled with magic is fun.... but definitely not as easy as people think! There are lots of rules to creating a world with magic and these rules can't be broken or else the magic doesn't feel real. And if there are no limitations to the magic, then what's at stake?

    If you're planning on writing a story with magical themes, this is definitely the episode for you!
