In this episode I'm talking with Jennifer 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:
Finding the inspiration to write about controversial subjects in today’s age of nasty comments and trolling
Jennifer’s trick for keeping herself accountable and not avoiding writing about the hard stuff
The power of talking to other writers
The things her inner critic says, and how it gets louder when she’s doing the work that’s closest to her heart
The trick for getting things down on the page–and how that seeming blather transforms into ‘readable chapters’
The beauties and drawbacks of living in a rural area
The dichotomy of having a virtual job with a big network while living in a small, somewhat isolated town
Becoming a cliche as you grow older: “I started aqua aerobics recently”
Continuing to work when your body may have other plans
The caregiving sandwich
Dealing with the claustrophobia of being in a transitional period, or what Jennifer calls a hallway
Her list of three collective illusions Jennifer wishes we’d wake up from
