Writing the Story that Chose You
from Publishing Disrupted · host Mick Silva and David Morris
In this episode, David and I talked about the difference between writing books that seem important or interesting, and writing the stories that you didn't choose, but must be told. That's a massive difference, and it's not often talked about enough. So we talked about it. I shared two quotes: one from Jeff Foster about being less prepared and more vulnerable, and another from Brené Brown on owning your story. Both fit nicely into what we're really trying to do in these conversations: to take time for a more honest response to the big disruptions in our lives, and to consider what we want to do about them. Relating, sharing, writing, and living, all ultimately working toward better integration.Jeff Foster's book is You Were Never Broken. Brené Brown's is The Gifts of Imperfection.Publishing Disrupted is at PublishingDisrupted.substack.comMick Silva is at MickSilvaEditing.substack.comDavid Morris is at dvdmorris.substack.com, LakeDriveBooks.com, and Hyponymous.com.
