We are still contemplating Episode 9, especially the themes or ideas we are called to over and over again in our writing.
What is one subject, idea, or theme you are drawn to in your writing?
For guest, Colette Walker, that subject is death because so much in the transition, the funeral, the rituals, the burials, etc. all speak to life.
If you have not yet listened to Episode 9, you can listen wherever you get your podcasts or on our website here: https://writeattention.podbean.com/e/personal-revelation-audience-responsibility/.

Hello Dear Listeners,
Episode 8 is LIVE: https://writeattention.podbean.com/e/cultivating-and-caring-for-our-creativity/
Jeannetta and Brittany dive into questions about boundaries, balancing work and life, weathering those summer social invitations, and finding ways to feed their imagination and creativity.
Working full time changes quite a bit about daily life, but we want to stay consistent with keeping writing high on the list of priorities.
For all you working writers, parent writers, caregiver writers, have-all-the-responsibilities writers, feel free to weigh in in the comments with your own answers to the questions posed in this episode. We would love to hear from you!

Episode 7: Place, Peculiarity, & Persistence
ICYMI, Episode 7 with guest co-host, Arianna Reiche, unpacks writing about Place, Peculiarity, & Persistence. Arianna, Jeannetta, and Brittany discuss ways we are able to write about place and how that may challenge common conceptions. We also discuss genres that embrace peculiar perspectives, persisting through life changes, and bearing those editing bruises.
How does genre offer possibility when writing about places we may have a complex relationship with? How do we honor our own experience of place that may be outside what is known or expected?
The episode is on our website: https://writeattention.podbean.com/e/place-peculiarity-persistence/ or wherever you get your podcasts.

At some point, challenges will arise when we come to our own creative space. Sometimes those challenges are with our own bodies, some with our hearts and some with our minds. They can make us feel like we cannot write or be creative. And while that may be true every now and then, how do we meet our creativity where we are?
In Episode 6 of The Write Attention with guest @LaurenSamblanet, Brittany asks, "Returning to writing from a place of pleasure when you are in pain—or even [from a place of] catharsis—if you're not finding relief, what's the new baseline where you can bring yourself to still commune with your creativity? Where is that space for you that you're comfortable to continue creating?"

"It's hard to rely on pure intuition when you are not putting yourself in a situation enough times to be able to kind of question whether it is intuition or some other things going on." -JCG, Ep.1: Show, Tell, and Practice
What is the relationship between intuition and practice like in your own writing?
Do you find it easier to trust that inner voice when you have consistently returned to your work?
