Once you’re lost in a scene, it really doesn’t matter where you are or how long you have. What matters is that the words are coming, you’re getting closer.

On the third episode of Season Two, Nina talks about how she manages to meet her writing goals and is working to find solutions to the stumbling blocks she faces along the way, such as time constraints and mindset; and how identifying these blocks and their solutions has helped her creative process.

She encourages listeners to experiment with their work processes and offers suggestions on how to do so.

She shares audio and written notes from listeners telling us about their goals and struggles, and how they address issues such as the constant distractions, changes in routine or lifestyle, as well as their efforts to find more joy in their work.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
