    Episode 103: Julia Lemke

    For author and poet Julia Lemke, discovering the healing and connecting nature of poetry changed the course of her writing career. In this episode of The Written Scene, Julia talks about how a spiritual epiphany guided her and its effect on her book, loving the library as a kid and how many books she could check out, reading books as a child that are now banned, majoring in Packaging in college and what that really is, the muscle memory of creation as a kid and how it changes as we age, accepting the feeling of not knowing what's next after completing a large project, finding relevancy in a fast paced society, why we can't create if we're not living our lives too, the kind of stories that stick with her, how having patience when writing can pay off, why your reader won't figure out what you're saying if you don't know either, leveling up as a poet, the ways performing poetry improves your writing, and much more.

    Episode 102: Janell Strube

    Author Janell Strube may also work as a tax accountant but her extensive use of spreadsheets made writing much easier. In this episode of The Written Scene, Janell talks about the writing lessons learned from going down rabbit holes, being the kid with their nose in the book instead of playing, viewing writing as feeding and nourishing people, the power of realizing and also believing you're a writer, having a day job that competes with time to write, zooming out to see just how much we've written over time, volunteering within a writer community and how that benefits us, developing thick skin through critique groups, using objects to tell a story, having a specific office just for writing, the lesson of less is more when writing a love scene, why bookstores survive in a digital world, and much more.

    Episode 101: Barbara Carlton

    Author Barbara Carlton led a previous life as an architect, a job she's now retired from, but a job that was very much like writing a novel. In this episode of The Written Scene, Barbara talks about the fortune of having a good publisher, how her love of music played a role in her writing, writing like you're in a mine with only a headlamp, reading kid lit just fo the joy of reading it, why taking a lot of writing classes can prevent the enjoyment of specific genres, the fear of "now what?" after finishing a novel you've worked on for many years, cross-fertilizing by writing different genres, how writing at an older age can benefit a story, when travel is both good and unnecessary for writing, having so large of a sinlge draft that it must be broken up into four different books altogether, and much more.

    Episode 100: Matt Bell

    When it comes to writing, there's no shortage of joy of the process in author and professor Matt Bell, and it's obvious from the smile you can hear in his voice when he talks about it. In this momentous episode (100!) of The Written Scene, Matt discusses growing up in a family of environmentalists and its impact on his writing, the joy of maintaining consistency in a story, creating an outline after the first draft, not being nostalgic with past drafts of stories, finding 30 year old anthologies with now well-established authors, becoming a writer later in life and its advantages, how the only control a writer has is to keep writing, the benefits authors will accumulate while also teaching, what working non-writing jobs will do for your future writing job, having characters with no names and what that does both to and for a story, handling rejection and using baseball statistics for perspective, and so much more.
