Ana and Brontë Went on Hiatus and All I Got was This Episode
We're back! Kind of. After eight months of things falling apart (depression, work, writing) & then the world getting better (moving, summering, writing), we'd love to share what we're up to now with you.
5: A Billionaire for Everyone, or Nah? Featuring M. Molly Backes
M. Molly Backes--author of The Princesses of Iowa and fellow MFAer from Iowa State University--joins our podcast. We discuss writing in academia, fellowships, and question how productivity is perceived as a way to determine our self-worth. Email writingdying@protonmail.com questions we could address in future episodes!
4: The 10,000 Hours of Mastery
In this episode, we contemplate the process of writing and discuss how purpose could impede our writing. Shout out to Ursula K. Le Guin for her constant giving.
3: What Are We Really Striving For?
In this episode, we contemplate how others observe the novel and the short story forms and announce some exciting news.
2: I'ts Not All Bad
1: Post-Graduate School Check-In: Do you feel it, too?
In our first ever episode of "Writing & Other Ways of Dying," we confess the reason we started this podcast in the first place: writing is hard. Listen to us explore our experience at Iowa State University's MFA program, some future creative writing project ideas, and how writing (or the thought of writing) is killing us slowly.
