Episode 147: Only Connect

from Story Makers Show Hosted by Book Writing World

Today’s podcast mines for what we can learn about the moments we falter--as when Angie and Elizabeth stopped podcasting for a few weeks. The conversation wonders, Who has more free time right now? And briefly explores revision—how do you know what’s needed when you already know the story so well. But mostly this is an episode about connection, permission, productivity, isolation, and meaning. Writing as activism, and life as performance art. If you feel like you are walking through knee-deep mud, maybe holding your breath, we hope this chat will help.
