Dan Simpson always loved acting and performing as a child — and this love took him to Fun Kids, the UK’s children’s radio station. But he’s always been just as curious about what goes on behind the scenes.So when he started thinking about writing his own novel, he decided to create a podcast — one that looks at the real routines and habits of our favourite authors called Writer's RoutineEight years later, with more than one and a half million downloads, Dan’s spoken to all kinds of writers — people like Sir Ian Rankin, Jojo Moyes, Lisa Jewell and David Nicholls.What I love about his story is that it shows how following your heart doesn’t just take you where you’re meant to be — it can end up helping others too.I’ve been listening to Dan’s podcast for several years now, and honestly, the stories he’s shared have really helped me keep going with my own writing. Dan’s funny, warm, and just brilliant. In our chat, we talk about the importance of a childhood filled with confidence — and he shares what to do when those pesky blocks of perfection start getting in your way.To discover Dan's brilliant podcast you find find him here: https://writersroutinedotcom.wordpress.com/To download your free novella a gift from me to your for supporting my podcast click here: https://www.elliebarkerwrites.com/And to sign up to my Next Chapter 3 pieces of Inspiration mailing list - and I'd love that you can also click here: https://www.elliebarkerwrites.com/ Hosted on Acast.
