How to Juggle Multiple Creative Projects at Once

from Open Book with Narratively Academy · host Caroline Rothstein and Brendan Spiegel

What an honor it was to chat with Caroline Rothstein this afternoon and hear all about how she handles the logistical, creative and emotional complexities of working on multiple writing projects at once. Even if you’re not an essayist-poet-performer-educator-filmmaker-screenwriter-playwright-novelist like Caroline is, if you always wish you had more time and energy to get creative, her insights here are gold. Because this one is relevant to so many of you new year’s goal-setters, we’re making the full video free—click play above to watch, or listen in your favorite podcast player.If you’re inspired to get even more insight from Caroline, her Personal Essay Incubator starts this Tuesday and there are just two seats left. This a unique opportunity for just six writers to work directly with Caroline in a small group setting this winter, with weekly classes and close editorial guidance on writing, pitching and publishing personal essays.Staying on theme, Caroline is teaching not one but two classes with us this winter. (She really does multi-task well!) If you’re just getting started with writing about very personal topics, be sure to grab a spot in her perenially popular class, Deeply Personal: Writing First-Person Essays on Raw and Difficult Topics. It’s been so wonderful to see the writers in this small workshop class develop close relationships while they explore writing *those* kinds of pieces — the ones you always want to write but that require a push to figure out how to tell them in the right way.
