In this episode I'm talking with Hayley Krischer--author of the upcoming “Where Are You, Echo Blue?”, which dropped yesterday, July 16th, and is poised to be the beach read of the summer--about the squishier side of creativity, including:
** This week's episodes are a replay. **
- The steps Hayley takes–and the tools she uses–to immerse herself in the world of her novels and inside her characters’ psyches
- What she does when she’s feeling stuck
- How good it feels when you connect with someone who loved your work in the real world
- The YA author Hayley fan-girled all over when she realized he was also an audience member at a reading she was attending
- How writing and editing can feel “horrible,” “like torture”--and the parts that make Hayley feel like jumping for joy
- How her inner critic loves to tell her she should be able to write a novel while also taking five-mile hikes every day
- How the months between when you’re done working on a manuscript and the book is published is a tough time, mentally–and how to navigate it
- The self-care practices helping Hayley through (the journaling practice, the supplements, the breathing exercise that helps her sleep)
- Busting the myth that writers make a lot of money and how hard it is to make a bestseller list
