The White Lotus which I can’t binge because I have to wait every week for the new one to come out. Which TV series are you currently binge watching? "Oh My My"/Little May, "Stand Like an Oak"/Rising Appalachia, "You’re Not Alone"/Allison Russell "Faded"/Conor Maynard, "Resilient"/Rising Appalachia, "Canary"/Joy Williams, "Coming Down"/Tyler Childers, "No Glory in Regret"/John Moreland, "Dead Middle"/Goodnight Texas, and "Redemption"/Nathanial Rateliff If A Light in the Forest was made into a movie, what songs would be on the soundtrack? Sometimes just getting to the end is the start and however that looks is exactly right for that moment because I’ve learned that for me, the true magic happens in the revisions. I’ve learned to keep my expectations low and write messy, even if I know I’ll have to rewrite that scene or character or dialogue. Sometimes I write at my desk, other times in coffee shops, often in the car waiting for a kid, on a plane, or in a waiting room. Getting to ‘the end’ can be a struggle and looks different each time. But my experience is that creating stories happens side by side with the messy realities of life. Yes, we love to imagine authors in beautiful writing spaces with books everywhere, lots of leather, a desk made from some exotic wood, whiskey in a hidden cabinet for celebrating and an old-fashioned typewriter where all the magic happens. I have learned that there is no perfect writing schedule or setting.
