"The Art of Storytelling," An Interview with Claire Dwyer, Writer, Marketing Manager of the Avila Foundation

Have you ever wanted to be a writer? I remember being a child and sitting on our back step, scribbling reflections and stories on mini notepads as I overlooked our neighbors’ yards. Writing was a gateway to another world and a way to make sense of the jumbled thoughts in my head. Fast forward several years, and I am still enamored by the art of writing and crafting a good story. This is why I was thrilled to interview today’s guest, Claire Dwyer. She is a best-selling author of the book, “This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity,” the Marketing Manager of the Avila Foundation, and co-founder of PraiseWriters, a new writing community for Catholic writers. In our conversation, we talk about: Her journey to becoming the writer she is today How to be patient in the waiting, as we become who we are and wait for ‘good fruit’ to produce within us Why the world and the Church needs our stories How we become more like God when we create Practical ways to overcoming writer’s block I was so inspired to write after speaking with Claire and I know you will be too!
