Thursday, 22 April, 2021
Hello Listeners. How has the last year affected your creative appetite and has it affected your mental health? The Demented Scribbler is a writers blog with original work, a regional voice and discussions on the writing process. This is episode 2 of 'The Creative Gap Year' by The Demented Scribbler. This podcast discusses suicide and mental health issues and contains expletives, so please be aware of that before you listen. In this episode, I present a 500-word story called 'Spring' about a man who's stood precariously on a motorway bridge. Part 1 starts at 3 minutes. 'Spring' is a short story written by David Gravel on the theme of 'The Mental Health Gap Year.' Part 2 starts at 8 minutes and 50 seconds and is a piece by a fellow creative writing student David Greenwood. David wrote this in response to my first podcast 'The Creative Gap Year.' I read out David's piece and discuss it. Part 3 starts at 19 minutes and 30 seconds and is a discussion on how to write a setting. There are some practical tips regarding how to effectively introduce location into your story. There is a small discussion and listener comments after part 3 regarding the Mental Health Gap.
