I’ve had a topsy turvy relationship with writing and I’ve witnessed this in my community too.
We come to writing with a vision of how it’s all going to be then, surprise, surprise, we discover we have talents in completely unexpected areas.
Want to write a picture book but end up writing a novel? Want to write poetry but end up writing a lifestyle blog? That’s how it happens. That’s normal.
In today’s ep, I talk all about my own journey from writing sneaky sidenotes in public service documents (ahem) to writing convoluted academic papers to writing slapstick junior fiction. And everything in between.
The thing is all writing is writing. Don’t hem yourself in. Learn to play with and stretch your creative impulses. Play is discovery. And therein lies the gold.
