S5E2: 🌑♎️ Writer’s Group Ch 2: Confronting the Creative Wound & Co-Creating Corrective Experiences w/ Matt

Note: This Writers Group episode is more of a diary entry documenting our creative process rather than a well-researched audio essay about a theme or an outlined interview. Transitions may feel jarring or confusing since the priority is consent and privacy over elements of our work.  If you have a pressing question, feel free to ask on substack!

 

Today’s episode is about Kristyn’s attachment issues that came up as she is diving into a journey alongside her friend Matt (to see the Wizard of Oz? Deliver the ring to Mordor? For Kristyn, it is finishing and publishing a fanfiction!) and what it looks like to create a corrective experience as we confront the wounds of being earnestly creative in a capitalistic system that would rather us be numbed out cogs.
