The Quiet Alchemist

Is the trope of the tortured artist really helping our art? Or hindering it? For hundreds of years all over the globe, one concept has existed – artists must suffer greatly to make great art. Together we explore whether we really need pain, grief, or heartbreak to create the most amazing writing that we are capable of.

Today’s example author is Elizabeth Gilbert.
