On today’s episode, Angie and Elizabeth delve into conflict in crisis, and what we can learn about story–and history–from the moment we are muddling through. They acknowledge that growth can be uncomfortable, and examine what turns conflict into growth. Also examined: grief, archnemeses (who is right for your hero?), how many things can be creative processes (almost everything!), and how many things a book is about (one). Shout outs to the global community of story makers, local papers, frontline workers, and everyone sheltering in place. Action is the antidote to worry. Go do it! Claim what you are doing as your creative work. And don’t miss Earth Day Live online…unless you want to go hug a tree–that’s great, too.
