Jenna Morton and Jennifer McGrath discuss the importance of embracing creative flexibility in writing, encouraging listeners to explore different genres and styles of writing without feeling guilty and taking advantage of the generous writing community in our region.. Jen stresses the value of not letting ego get in the way of creativity and exploring different sandboxes to foster more creativity. They talk about the significance of children's literature in fostering creativity, processing the world, and addressing complex issues through shared experiences. They highlight the importance of relatable characters, local settings, and the emotional impact of stories on young readers, with Jen emphasising the value of landscape and nature in her own writing. Jen offers some great resources and experiences which have helped her in her own career, and encourages other regional writers to start by writing - in every genre and at every opportunity - to grow their skills and confidence.
