Lucas Oakeley – Listener Q+A

Paglalarawan

Author and Boys Book Club co-founder Lucas Oakeley answers listener questions in this Q&A episode of Character Study.Listeners ask Lucas where his creative spark comes from, whether he has a way of dealing with people who interrupt his energy (he doesn't, he thinks friction is good for you), and how he gets back into his novel each time he sits down to write. His tip: never stop writing when you have nothing left to say, stop when you know what comes next, so you always sit down with momentum. He also shares his niche Wikipedia rabbit hole hack for kickstarting creativity, and tells the story of spending a day visiting four London bookshops trying to find his own debut novel on the shelves, and not finding it in a single one.This is a conversation about the writing life and why, by bookshop four, he was absolutely fuming.🎥 Watch on YouTube📘 Nearly Departed by Lucas Oakeley📘 Buy Freya's novel: A Real Piece of Work💛 Follow @freybromley on Instagram for updates and to ask your questions📚 Join Freya's newsletter at freyabromley.substack.com for behind the scenes thoughts🎙️ And hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts Hosted on Acast.
