Dear fellow writer,
Welcome to Swordswings, my monthly podcast series for writers in motion. These recordings are intended for you to listen to when you’re moving around — which is a great way to get your writing moving as well.
Today's episode on “Writing Through Uncertainty” is excerpted from a conversation that I held back in May 2021 — an uncertain time indeed! — with
, the founder of InkWell Academic Writing Retreats. Michelle has dedicated her career to helping scholars better understand their writing process, especially in times of existential anxiety.I asked Michelle, “In difficult moments, how do we keep our writing going?”
Enjoy!
You can listen to my monthly Swordswings series wherever you download your podcasts. Love the music? Check out the website of singer-songwriter Caitlin Smith, co-writer and performer of our gospel-infused theme song, “Hour of Gold.”
The full video of my 2021 WriteSPACE Special Event with Michelle is available to WriteSPACE members in the Videos section of your WriteSPACE or WS Studio Library. You can also find downloadable audio files and transcripts of all Swordswings episodes in the WriteSPACE Audio section.
Kia pai tō koutou rā (have a great day) – and keep on writing!
