In this episode, I return to a favourite topic - writing when things go wrong, either in your own life, or in the world. How should we handle it? How do we make writing meaningful in difficult times? This is a writing ramble episode, so it's unscripted, unedited. Just me, talking about whatever comes to mind. I mention Susanna Clarke's PIRANESI - you can order a copy here: https://storysmithbooks.com/product/piranesi-susanna-clarke/ If you'd like to support me you can grab my two novels THE HONOURS and THE ICE HOUSE (best read in that order). Due to stock shortages both links are to Amazon, but if you can grab them from your local bricks & mortar stores that would be dandy: THE HONOURS: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Honours-Tim-Clare/dp/1782114793/ THE ICE HOUSE: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ice-House-Tim-Clare/dp/1786894823 And you can support this podcast and help me make more free content for writers by dropping me something here: https://ko-fi.com/timclare
