Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

[Kate Schapira, inner stuff]: Getting comfortable with the vulnerability of "telling the truth and showing your butt" in your writing Ep 1081


Listen Later

In this second part of my conversation with Kate Schapira, author of "Lessons from the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth," we cover the squishier parts of writing, including:

- The process of deciding just how vulnerable to be in your writing

- The emotional difference between writing poetry and writing prescriptive non-fiction

- How her inner critic is a salty SOB

- How a writing group holds you accountable to write despite what your inner critic is telling you

- A peek inside the mechanics and beauties of Kate's writing group

- The illusion of innocence (WOW this really blew my mind open)

- Trying to be a good person vs. trying to have a good effect
