Write Where It Hurts

Networking For The Socially Anxious


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Eva and Katryn talk about navigating writing spaces when you have social anxiety-from online friendships, to conferences, to being “out there” in social media land. Eva can't stop singing Good Charlotte's "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" & talks about the importance of finding your version of "theatre kids", and Katryn discusses "Clark Kenting" as a librarian to avoid author conversations.

*Content warnings: Eva apologizes in advance for getting this stuck in your head: Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous by Good Charlotte- music video
