Since it's Mental Health Awareness Week I thought I'd chuck you a bonus episode which should be useful if you're mental like me or just a regular ol' enthusiastic end-user of this bizarre glob of thinking apparatus we fancifully refer to as a brain. In this unscripted, unedited episode I outline five rules for better mental health hygiene. By which I mean, simple principles to stick to when you're writing, that will help you keep sharp, keep motivated, and stick the distance. Some basic, fundamental practices and habits everyone should be applying to their writing lives, backed up with research, that will help you optimise the writing time you have available, squeeze the most out the big juicy orange o' creativity, and not end up crumpled in a heap beneath your desk, sobbing.
