browsing around the internet procrastinating. This pops up and one of the first things he says is don't delay start writing ASAP

What a lovely interview; descriptive, explaining and understanding. His advice certainly both anchored me from any doubts and aspired to embrace the writing process precariously. Thank you!

So great! I loved the fire metaphor. Thank you, Professor.

Your timing is perfect! I'm writing my MA thesis as we speak and working towards entry into a PhD program! Many thanks for sharing this!

Thank you professor Macfarlane! Thank you Luo and B for making this interview happen. I felt I was at the scene listening to professor Macfarlane!

19:25 Importance of Creative Expression & The Social In Writing

This is a master class on writing.

This is a great upload! It is interesting to think of the various ways I have written essays and such over the years. What fascinates me is the variety of methods I have used over the years. Your idea that one should start a work with an event or idea that interests you has indeed been the method I have deployed in some of my better works. As usual, thanks for all the great uploads!

Author Natalie Goldberg found that painting or drawing as a creative process produced benefits in her narrative prose. So when Macfarlane says play, I hear paint, or draw, or play piano, etc.

It has been so helpful and I feel much better now, I am just starting to write my master thesis and now I keep on mind all your advices... Wishing to experience teh writing as Religious ecstasys and having fun all the way. thanks from my heart dear Professor

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and tips on the process of writing. It was very helpfull!

I am new to anthropological domain and working on mixed methods approach to tackle environmental issues. I heard from one of the reviewers of a journal that anthropologists interacts with others through humane, humble, simple and self awareness approach and anthropology deals in similar manner through a series of ethnographic views.. She said, before going to field, first go through some videos and look for interviews which explains above qualities... I am so surprised that anthropologists are themselves so humanistic in nature and how for doctors service should be motto, for anthropologist, sir's qualities are pre requisite. I am really surprised and congratulate prof sir and people who took this video which benefits immensely to students like me. Thank you.

Wish I'd have stumbled across this at the beginning of my dissertation. Nevertheless great stuff!

This is a brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing this.
