A couple of glasses of wine into a loooooong tween-filled vacation, Angie and Elizabeth launch a new year of Story Makers Show with some conversation and advice. Topics covered to varying degrees include: the possibly universal reaction to getting notes on your writing, the possibility of getting bored with your own work and how to get a fresh eye, taking time in the editing process, discipline and habit versus constantly questioning your choices, what you should do vs have to do vs need to do, what our migratory subsistence ancestors knew that we should remember, the 4-hour work day, housecleaning, beginner’s mind, originality, and happiness. Or not. Angie calls writerly bullsh*t on the idea that we are always beginners, and gives Elizabeth some unexpected creative advice. Pull up a chair and let’s talk.
