Description

Last week in the first part of my conversation with Elisabeth McKetta, we talked about the 3Cs of writing: Creativity, craft and connection. Today, we’re continuing the conversation with a deeper dive into the “connection” pillar.Writers need other writers. Period. We spend a lot of time alone, and when we have the chance to interact with our peers, or with publishing experts or teachers or other creative people, we need to jump on that.In this episode, we’re discussing the multiple ways to think about connecting with other people in the field, what it looks like and how to open yourself up for greater connection.And since it’s the two of us, we can’t resist a rabbit hole or two…like how chaos impacts—or enhances—writing, why kids need more creativity in their life, and how to give ourselves and those around us permission to be creative and how to set boundaries so we can actually do the things.Elisabeth is a storyteller, a poet, the author of 13 books across multiple genres, and a teacher for the Harvard Extension School Writing Program and Oxford University’s Diploma in Creative Writing.If you missed part one, go back and listen first.And if you’re looking for some creative friends to hang out and have tea with for an hour, well, you’ve found us.You can find Elisabeth here: https://elisabethsharpmcketta.com/Episode 79: Genre-bending, mom assassins and edge-of-your-seat suspense - a conversation with Elle Cosimano, author of the Finlay Donovan seriesWant more writing inspo?
