What makes some writing feel alive? And how can we bring that quality into our own work?In this episode, I explore the “soul” of great writing, both descriptively—what that looks like on the page—and prescriptively—what writers can do to cultivate it.We talk about the role of vulnerability, where writers go wrong in pursuit of authenticity, and how words can become a bridge to connection.Plus, I share practical tips for tending to your writer soul and a sneak peek of what’s coming up next month!Mentioned in this episode:Goodgoodgood.co and on InstagramRebel RidgeWhat We Carry (there’s also a link to download a discussion guide, but careful—it contains spoilers!)Send me a text message with your questions or comments!___________________________________Come join the discussion!InstagramTikTokThreadsSubstackAnd visit my website to learn more about my editing services, book coaching, and upcoming courses.
