Welcome to episode 266 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, we’re rewinding back to one of our most popular episodes about writing with Gabriela Pereira from DIY MFA.

Write More, Write Better, and Write Smarter

Writing –– do you love it or hate it?

It seems to be one of those topics that really divide people; either you love the creative process of putting words onto paper or…you don’t.

Today’s FBP Rewind episode will help you get those creative juices flowing and fine-tune your writing processes.

A bit about our interviewee: Gabriela got her MFA in 2010, and after she graduated, she realized that a lot of people don’t actually need a formal education process in order to write. If you give yourself permission to own your creativity and writing, and if you learn a few key skills along the way, you can be a writer.

She started her business, DIY MFA, to teach others how they can do exactly that.

Gabriela has been able to practice, evaluate, and fine-tune her craft and teach others how to do the same. Gabriela’s strategies about finding the right writing system, tracking productivity, staying inspired, and understanding strengths and weaknesses all play into finding one’s voice and writing style.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What an MFA is
Why she considers herself an instigator
How she calculates and tracks her productivity
How to find a writing system that works for you
How she stays inspired
How she writes personal posts
Why it’s important to get input from the right people
Why you should know your strengths and weaknesses
