In part two of my interview with Danali Sai Nalamalapu, author of the brand new book “Holler: A Graphic Memoir of Rural Resistance,” we talk about the squishier side of writing–the thoughts and beliefs that can affect your work, even if you're not fully conscious of them.
We cover:
- How being creative is a means of survival
- The joy of sharing your work after the years spent working in isolation to create it
- The worst, most boring part of creating a graphic novel (for Denali)
- Denali’s trick to countering the voice of the inner critic
- The gifts of having a mother who teaches you to question the status quo
- “Wiggling out” of external definitions and expectations
- Finding ways to do extroverted work (activism, promotion) as an introvert
