2023 was a dramatic year for me. It began with the death of my father on January 7th, and was followed shortly afterwards with the loss of my pregnancy in the second trimester. These events cast a deep dark shadow over the first half of the year. But the Lord giveth, and I had to meet him halfway. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suvatacast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/suvatacast/support

It had a beautiful dust jacket with a picture of a light yellow house with a storm door. I wasn't into Stephen King's work — and in fact, I'm still not — but I was drawn in. Stephen King's work may not be to everyone's taste, it's certainly not to mine, but I think we can all agree he is a prolific writer who can craft a story and weave a narrative like no other. I picked up the book and devoured it in the Border's cafe. I took it home with me — after paying for it, of course — and I devoured it again. And again. And again. Over the course of a summer I must have read that book five times. Partly a narrative about his career, and partly a how to manual for writers, I was captivated. One part, in particular, stood out, and I have come to that teaching time and time again over the last 2 decades. Today's episode is about that teaching.
