When a writer tells you how to get the work done, they’re telling you what works for them. That’s useful. But it might be completely wrong for you. So we test it. This Might Work is a podcast about creative experiments. In each episode, host Bec Evans takes one idea from a writer, artist or thinker - something practical, surprising or slightly unconventional - and puts it to the test with a real writer, working on a real project. Every experiment is different. Every writer responds differently. But each episode leaves you with something concrete to try in your own work. Because writing advice is everywhere. The only question that matters is: will it work for you? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
