The blank page can be terrifying, paralysing even. How do you overcome the fear of starting something new?

In Episode 6 Ali and Penny - both at the start of new projects - talk about the different tools they use to make a strong start on something new. They examine artistic considerations as well as more practical techniques including: goal setting, spreadsheets, progress checkers, and the all important writing community.


They also talk about ways of reframing the idea of 'dreams'. Is it a dream to write a book, or an ambition?
