There's a carousel at the gates of hell Round and round and goes Each new time, like it's the first this round and round and round and round and round

The first this round and round and round you What's deep in me?

That's the classic carousel at the gates of hell by Benny Torette and the Toretinos.

You're listening to what's known in this realm as the Ducat Russell family our podcast and this week we are aligning with the national assembly of infernal anti-writing beings with a list of eight bad things you can do to keep yourself from writing.

Number one, this is the most important one, only write when everything in your life is completely lined up in perfect harmony.

Number two, only write at a specific time in a specific area every single day never deviate from that plan.

Number three, don't carry a pad and pin around in your pocket or even worse take notes on a phone because let's face it you're not that interesting especially not enough to take notes on your observations.

Number four, don't notice anything turn your eyes inward and only gaze upon your own pain.

Number five, stop feeling, feeling helps you get inspiration which helps you write don't feel okay.

Number six, get extra drunk the night before you're planning to write so you have a fantastic hangover.

Number seven, compare your rough drafts to the final products of the greatest writers that have ever lived and finally number eight.

Just don't write hope this helps for those of you who are trapped in a cycle of being too prolific.

Much thanks to Nizak the fifth prince of hell for that if you're a prince of hell and you'd like to sponsor an episode of the DTFH just right to lavender hour at gmail.com.

And now a word from our sponsors.

El gato existe en un superpazacillón.

That of course means the cat exists in a superposition simultaneously alive and dead as long as the fox.

It's in as hermetically sealed. I haven't learned how to say as long as the box it's in as hermetically sealed yet.

But thanks to Babel I'm sure that soon I will. Babel it's the number one selling language learning app.

I've always wanted to learn another language and I've tried other methods.

But Babel has made the whole process addictively fun and easy. It bitesize lessons that you'll actually use in the real world.

Currently I'm learning Spanish because I felt like it would be super fun to revisit something that tormented me in high school.
