Description

In this bonus episode, I invited my good friend Rori Shay, author of the Elected Trilogy, to join me for an open discussion about writing during periods of grief and sadness. We talked about using "grief work" as a method for coping with the loss of a loved one; how we can channel feelings of sadness and anger into our writing to both add emotional depth to our stories and help us process our own tough emotions; some self-care strategies that we've implemented during the pandemic; and how writing can sometimes act as a beneficial escape from real-life struggles, but other times what we really need is to take a break from producing and being creative, and that's okay, too.
