About this episode:
In March, a friend let me stay in her little house in Oysterville, WA so I could finish editing the audiobook for When Darcy Met Lizzy. Sequestered in that little house as the wind and the rain beat down upon the windows and roof, I learned more about writing, craft, and my own particular human wounds than I have in ten years of workshops.
Writing is scary, and facing what you’ve written can sometimes feel like looking at the ugliest, most shameful parts of yourself. But if you want to complete something, you can’t allow yourself to run away. You have to work through the shame and fear, otherwise, you’ll never get to the other side. But sometimes that process is unbearably painful! All of this sounds incredibly cheesy and cliche but that’s because it’s SO TRUE.
My good friend, the talented and ingenious poet, essayist, and novelist, Alyse Knorr, often helps me with my revision fears, and I wanted to share our conversation with you all in hopes that she may be a guiding light to you, too.
Live long and prosper,
Sammie
