Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

[Hayley Krischer, inner stuff]: True confessions about how “horrible” writing can feel + why–and how–she wrote her next novel in longhand Ep 1066


Listen Later

In this episode I'm talking with Hayley Krischer, author of the upcoming “Where Are You, Echo Blue?”, which is poised to be the beach read of the summer, about the squishier side of creativity– including:

The steps Hayley takes–and the tools she uses–to immerse herself in the world of her novels and inside her characters’ psyches

What she does when she’s feeling stuck

How good it feels when you connect with someone who loved your work in the real world

The YA author Hayley fan-girled all over when she realized he was also an audience member at a reading she was attending

How writing and editing can feel “horrible,” “like torture”--and the parts that make Hayley feel like jumping for joy

How her inner critic loves to tell her she should be able to write a novel while also taking five-mile hikes every day

How the months between when you’re done working on a manuscript and the book is published is a tough time, mentally–and how to navigate it

The self-care practices helping Hayley through (the journaling practice, the supplements, the breathing exercise that helps her sleep)

Busting the myth that writers make a lot of money and how hard it is to make a bestseller list
