Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

[Antonia Angress, inner stuff]: Throwing away the work that isn’t working + adapting to the public speaking side of being a writer Ep 1060


Listen Later

In this episode I'm talking with Antonia about the squishier side of creativity–the thoughts, ideas, and attitudes that affect your work, even if you're not fully conscious of it, including:

- The part of the writing process that Antonia relishes

- The specific point in the book-writing process where Antonia focuses on making her sentences pretty

- How she only kept “a few paragraphs” from the first draft of her second novel (!!)

- Adapting to the public speaking portion of being a writer

- The thing her graduate school professor told her when she was halfway through writing her first novel and having a crisis of confidence

- The two things that can happen after her inner critic has told her the stuff she’s writing is no good

- How she views her first novel, looking back

- The “toxic narrative” about how you have to suffer for your art

- Continually working to be OK with resting (especially as an about-to-be mother)

- Antonia’s plug for therapy
