Stop Writing Alone: Recent Episodes

Nicole Rivera

Stop Writing Alone is a weekly show for writers looking for a writing community. In each episode listeners will learn where and how they can find, or create, their own writing community while joining one such community with Stop Writing Alone. The show will provide inspiration, writing activities, critique, and lessons from “distant teachers” in the writing world via their writings, online presence, and interviews. The show is written and hosted by Nicole Rivera, co-organizer of a local writing group, writer, and Pitch Wars 2016 mentee.

Episode 186: Writing Peer Letters for Better Critique Conversations Episode Description Critique conversations can sometimes be complicated by the reader’s intention rather than serving the author of the piece being critiqued. This month, a small cohort of Stop Writing Alone members is trying out a new process for critique involving some tools like Writing Notes (discussed in episode 185), and Peer Letters, to help writing groups remain focused on the true purpose of critiquing each other’s writing: helping each writer to best bring their vision for their writing to life. In this episode, Nicole describes how she has used this tool in the Stop Writing Alone Critique Crew to serve the writers she is reading

Episode 185: "Writing Notes" for Critique and Creation Episode Description As the Stop Writing Alone Critique Crew has begun to experiment with a new way to critique our writing, I have discovered a tool in “writing notes” that I wanted to share with the whole community. “Writing Notes” are meant to be shared with readers of your work to help focus their feedback on what you actually need to help your WIP become exactly what you’ve dreamed, but I have also found that these notes are helping me stay focused as well. This week I shared my process in writing my writing notes and challenge you to take the time to write them for your own WIP.

AI is here, do you think ChatGPT is a writer’s friend or foe? This week Nicole sits down with three writers who have dove in to use tools like ChatGPT and Jasper to ask them about their experiences. Jackie Dana, Heather Huffman and Susie Taylor share how they have used these tools in their fiction, content creation, research and more. Tune in to hear about why you might be celebrating this new tech and what, if anything, you still have to fear.

The debate over writing prompts continues on, but is there a different way to look at prompts when you choose to do them IN community? I think so! This week I discuss why I think this “Writing Fitness with Friends” activity is something all writers should consider adding to their practice.

In her TED Talk “THe danger of a single story,” Chimamanda Ngoyi Adichie reminds us why it is so important to read widely in order to gain a greater understanding of cultures outside of our own. This week Nicole discusses this topic, the implications it has for our time, and our consequential responsibilities as writers to write more, read more, and share more diverse stories.

What is the type of writing support and writing community that you need? Through the creation of the Stop Writing Alone Happy Campers Club, Nicole found five different types of community meetings and support that each provide their own value -- goal setting, write-ins, general support, revision chat/critique, and writing prompt meetings. In this episode she describes each type of meeting, their value, and offers an opportunity for you to participate in each one during the week of May 25th in the Stop Writing Alone with Nicole Rivera FB Group.

In April 2020, Nicole launched a new one month long writing community experiment. She called it The Stop Writing Alone Happy Campers Club. She made a plan, and a number of people showed up. She didn’t know the country would go into quarantine. She didn’t know how important community would be. She wasn’t sure it would be valuable. It was. This week’s episode is a chat with some of the happy campers reflecting on what they gained from the one month experience and how it helped them in their writing goals.

Recently Nicole discovered, to her horror, that the one question Oprah Winfrey claims to be the single most important question for any person to answer in their lifetime -- What do I want? -- was the one question she couldn’t answer. Ever since discovering this, she has worked to find her answers in her creative life as well as her life as a whole. After listening to author and creativity coach, Jessica Abel, discuss the “shoulds” in our lives, Nicole discovered they can lead us all to the answer to our wants which will then help us reach for all our dreams -- especially when it comes to our writing careers.

The world is in need of strong, intelligent voices. Should those voices be wasted on fiction? Should writers be spending their hours in more important pursuits than playing make believe on the page? This week Nicole addresses the question of whether or not writers are wasting their time when they write fiction. She sites research that underscores the magnitude of fiction’s impact on our society and celebrates its small victories as well. This episode doesn’t ask if your story matters, it tells you WHY it does, so listen, then GO WRITE!

“This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until it's done. It's that easy, and that hard.” - Neil Gaiman @neilhimself

This week Nicole’s mind is on action — the power of it, and the conflicting nature of its simplicity and impossibility. “Just DO it!” Nike tells us and it IS, in fact that simple, except when it isn’t. A chat about the importance of taking action -- even messy action -- and the secret to sustaining it in order to reach all of your goals.
