    Episode 1: Taking The First Step
    2018/09/26
    Life Is Scary. It sure is. And fear is good. Usually. Until it starts getting all up itself and stops us doing the things we really want to do. Then it becomes a bit a pain tbh. Sometimes that inner scaredy cat needs a little, ahem, management. I'm Ann Hirst, a self-confessed terrified writer and earlier this year me and my fear made friends. In this podcast we'll explore the ways fear can actually help us achieve our goals rather than hold us back.

    Episode 2: What's Age Got To Do With It?
    2018/10/03
    Life is Scary is about all things writerly, how fears and doubts can get in the way of our creative goals, how we can combat them and even turn them around to our advantage. This episode explores whether age is a factor. Kind of. It's actually me having a nice chat with someone much younger to get their views on the subject. If you enjoy, please leave a review. Thanks.

    Episode 3: Say yes and figure it out later
    2018/10/11
    The podcast that slick, high quality production values forgot. In this episode I'm joined by Sophie Hargraves, creative coach, entrepreneur, mum, rebel marketeer and soon-to-be broadcaster. Um yeah, so the recording cut us off sooner than we wanted but what can you expect from someone who's trying to record a podcast while lying back in a chair, eyes closed, lashes standing up like soldiers on a piece of silicon stuck to my eyelid? Exactly. If that hasn't put you off, hurrah! Come on in and have a listen.
    FYI, Sophie is the founder of The Gellie Hut (Insta @thegelliehut)

    Hi! I'm Ann, the Terrified Writer and welcome back to Life Is Scary. In this episode I talk about sleep, how small changes are more effective than big ones and why upsetting people isn't a reason not to write.

    Episode 5: Complex Us and Scary Books
    2018/10/26
    This episode looks at the complex and contradictory characteristics that makes us US. We're not always who everyone says we are, nor do we have to be, especially when we want to express creativity. I'll also recommend some spine-chilling books, share my worst halloween memory and reveal last episode's 'what scares you' challenge.

  • Episode 6: Rejection

    Episode 6: Rejection
    2018/11/03
    In Episode 6 I'm joined by writer Belinda Moore and we talk about the curse of all artists and writers: Rejection. We share personal stories and uncover some shocking rejections of well-loved and respected authors. It's a must for all writers going through the same thing as it will help you realise you're not alone and there’s always someone with a worse story. On that note, I finally reveal my Worst Rejection Ever as promised in the previous episode. It’s a belter. To put it into context, read ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ on The Terrified Writer blog.

  • Episode 7: Let It Go

    Episode 7: Let It Go
    2018/11/09
    Episode 7 is all about letting go. How letting go of fears, of ego and all the unhelpful junk we tell ourselves can liberate us and free us up to be as creative as we like. I'm joined by improv and creative thinking coach, Alex Menhams. From an office that resembles my gran's living room circa 1978 we discuss structured liberation, how be comfortable with the discomfort of looking like an idiot in public and death by parrot. Or was that carrot?
    Alex is founder of www.creativeleadershiplab.com and www.theunqualifiedyes.com

    Episode 8: Procrastination
    2018/11/20
    In Episode 8 I consider a name change - what do you think? Do I drop Life Is Scary and just stick with The Terrified Writer Podcast? Or not? Also, Fred the dog gets involved and you can witness a bit of real time yips, creative u-turns and procrastination. My guest is stand-up-comedian-in-waiting and local barista Tim Merryweather, who has a thing about polystyrene, not in a good way. Enjoy!
