Well the build off pays off this week as things get absolutely crazy in Everlost. All of our characters converge in Memphis for a big showdown. Allie is skinjacking a ton and learning important things about herself and the nature of skinjackers. Nick is fighting a losing battle against the chocolate and trying to prepare for his fight with Mary. Mary herself has gone off the deep end. Charles and Asia have a discussion on the nature of evil, and Mary's descent into madness. The ending of this reading is crazy, in a good way, and you really have to read it to believe it. Next week we will be reading chapters 1-28 of book 3 in the series, Everfound. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/throwback-paperback/support

Nick and Mary continue their opposing journeys and now try to recruit talented afterlights in preparation for battle. Meanwhile, Allie and Mikey are diving into their own talents and feeling how those actually strain their budding relationship. We are definitely learning more about the mechanics of Everlost and powers, but we are unsure how much of the information we should trust. There are definitely some bigger questions we need answers to.

In this episode I share 3 Dharma tools for working with the arising of grief; the prescription for dukkha, compassion, and equanimity. I quote from Kate Inglis's book Notes for The Everlost. Here is guided compassion meditation by Andrea Fella and a guided equanimity meditation from Jesse Maceo Vega-Frey

And interview with Kate Inglis, author of 5 books for all ages, including the middle-grade novels The Dread Crew and Flight of the Griffons; the non-fiction memoir for adults, Notes for the Everlost, and the picture books, If I were a Zombie and A Great Big Night. Hear about her addiction to endless revision, the companionship she finds in fictional characters, and how her first novel began with a story she told her child just to pass the time. 25 minutes. All ages. A full interview transcript is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:10] Interview with Kate Inglis   CA: Are you a planner? Do you know the ending of your story when you begin? KI: No, I never do. …I feel like the act of writing is how I find the shape. My brain will kind of spit me out somewhere in the middle, a scene that just grabs me. … And then my thinking has to sort of spray outwards in every direction… And so sometimes I have a loose sense of what kind of a story it might be, but I don't know for certain until I give the characters a chance to tell me.   [2:15] CA: Do you have any favorite fictional characters from children's fiction? KI: I love all of Roald Dahl's characters…He was never afraid of letting stories be truly disorienting …And I remember loving Girl of the Limberlost when I was a kid. … a very sort of unusual, very smart, very nature-oriented girl….   [3:15] CA: …. How do you feel about tormenting your characters? KI: Oh, like giving a dog a good bone to chew on. … The stuff that really fortifies you and turns you into the person you're meant to be is the tough stuff. … The stories that I love to write the most are always going to be the ones where people, you can see the gravity of whatever it is they're carrying…. Because we all have that on us, right? [4:20] CA: Have you ever written a series? You have…. Did you did you know you were going to write a sequel? KI: No. … I didn't start writing The Dread Crew thinking I was writing a book. I just told a story to a 6-year-old in the woods because he was bored and we had a long way to walk. … And eventually it became a book. … I think by the time I was finished writing it, I knew that I would want to write another one.   [6:00] CA: How do you feel about sad endings? KI: Well I mean, that's life, isn't it? … I think there is absolutely such a thing as a sad ending done really beautifully, that still leaves the reader feeling enriched …It's not so much about Was the ending quote good or bad? It's, Was it done well? … A story with an ending that some people might consider sad, those are some of the best stories we have.   [6:55] CA: Is there a typical amount of time… that you would spend … drafting vs revising? KI: I would love to kind of chart that when I write my next novel… I actually love the process of editing. But the process of filling empty pages has always been more of a challenge for me. … I guess it might be 50/50. … The last novel that I wrote, that's with my agent now, I was probably working on it in earnest for about a year and a half… And then editing has been a very intense probably 8 months. But then that first year and a half was a ton of editing as well. … And as it turns out, I ended up re-sending her 6 drafts. …   [10:00] CA: What would you say is the hardest thing about writing a good story? … KI: … Getting over yourself. Just getting through to the point where you can keep sitting your butt down in the chair and keep cranking on the word count …. Even when you think you're no good, even when you think that probably the story isn't coming together, step away from it for a bit and then come back. Drop yourself somewhere else in the story. But whatever you do, just keep going. …   [11:30] CA: Excellent Do you have a favorite POV to write from? … KI: I always write it as kind of the observing narrator. I've never written in first person. … As the narrator, I'll kind of jump in here and then out again and then over there in terms of time. …You can sort of reach in with his giant hand and kind of move things around and adjust the pacing and the flow so that it just feels like it's balanced. And I guess that's me. I'm the hand, the giant hand.   [13:00] CA: And do you keep a regular writing practice? … KI: … I'm kind of a plodder. …I write when the spirit moves. … sometimes it's quite late into the night…I have a hard time sleeping. All I can hear in my head is [my characters'] voices. … And now that I've finished writing that book … I miss them. …A lot of people I think would find the process of writing a book perhaps to be really lonely … But I find myself very much kept company by my characters. …There is sort of this long stretch in the middle when you're creating, when I think we're most vulnerable to self-doubt, which is I think our sort of zone of abandonment as writers. …. All of us hit that point. … And that's okay. I just need to keep going through the fog.   [17:05] CA: What scared you as a kid? KI: …Not fitting in. … And at the same time… I didn't particularly want to fit in. … I didn't want to be like everyone else. …The older you get, the more you can make that possible for yourself. You can absolutely fit in and … not have to be like everyone else….   [18:40] CA: How important is setting to you when you write? … KI: Settings are crazy important. Settings are like another character for me. When I'm developing setting, I feel like a photographer when I write. …The setting of the novel that I just wrote is an abandoned house… so it's a very evocative place to write in. … It's a very useful tool to use setting and place as a way of showing and not telling what a character is driven by, what scares them, how they react to the world. … So place is absolutely elemental for me.   [20:45] CA: Are there setting or character exercises that you recommend to young writers? KI: … I don't do a whole lot of exercises. I'll just be in a project and I'll kind of keep going in the project. …Just start something. … Once you have the bones of a story…  do a little bit of freeform… journaling. … almost like you're being interviewed about the character. … I'm a big journaler, so I'm a big believer in that.   [21:55] CA: Do you have recommendations to young writers for getting or organizing ideas? KI: … I love having a big journal… And doodling and kind of free association and lists. I only just started writing with Scrivener, and that has been really useful for me in writing … novels. …Another thing that I do is I have a Pinterest, almost like it's my bulletin board. … So I'll often kind of clip and save stuff from online that feel evocative to me, somebody's smile or someone's boots, pictures of a setting, or maps, or other descriptions, or quotes that inspire me. …. I can kind of go there and tap into those warm mushy feelings about the project. It helps me remember to why I'm doing it, because I'm moved by this vision, by this idea.   [24:05] CA: Very cool. … Thank you so much… KI: It's been so fun to chat. … Bye   [24:20] Kate Inglis introduces herself KI: I'm Kate Inglis. And I'm an author. I've dabbled in kids' picture books and middle-grade adventures and adult nonfiction and adult novels as well. And I've been writing ever since I was a kid. And I always knew that I wanted to be an author but I wasn't always certain what I would say, what stories I would tell. And so much of my adult life has been keeping an eye out for those stories and sort of listening, like through a tin-can telephone, very very quietly for those characters that pop up, and learning how to chase them when I hear that call. So that's me.   [25:20] Find out more about Kate Inglis You can hear more creative writing advice from Kate Inglis on Cabin Tales Episode 5.5, “Author interviews about Plotting; and on Episode 6, “Begin in the Darkness,” about Beginnings; and on Episode 8, “The Never-ending Story,” about Revision.  You can find out more about Kate Inglis and her books from her website at KateInglis.com.   [26:10] Thanks and coming up on the podcast  I'll be back next week with leftovers from my interview with Don Cummer, author of historical fiction for young readers.

In episode ten, Tim and Tuesday talk to author and collaborator Kate Inglis on the parallels of how we can be light-keepers despite impossible loss as human beings, and impossible odds as change leaders.1.10 —— SHOW NOTESAuthor and collaborator Kate Inglis reads a short excerpt from her new book Notes for the Everlost, reflecting on the randomness we confront when trauma or loss occurs in our lives. How does the shock of it all translate into wisdom for living?The green light of finding meaning exactly where we are, as we are. How this drives change and banishes cynicism. When problems—grief, trauma, challenges—feel too big, we can feel too small to have an effect. All we can do is recognize how precious all our efforts are—even in small ways. The inherent value of life is in the trying.Tim paraphrases a quote by Thomas Merton - ‘forgo all hope of results.’ Surrender and get to the real work, and build relationships that sustain your ability to be in the work. The arc of change is long, flowing over multiple generations—and we stand on the shoulders of multiple generations of change leaders.Tuesday: The future we won’t realize, but that we work towards. Very present in the indigenous and black community: We may not bear the fruits now, but we plant them now.“I am the hope and the dream of the slave.” — Maya Angelou”The arc of history is long but it bends towards justice.” —MLKKate reflects on nihilism as a freeing mindset, especially in regards to systems change work: “We think we know what the results need to be, but we don’t. My take on nihilism isn’t so much ‘nothing matters’, but ‘so what’—how do we move forward if everything is dust? How do we want to conduct ourselves in our lives to drop seeds? We make a difference by trying.”Tuesday: Our structures say, What did you get done in six months? We constantly need to quantify our results. We are in structures that do not tolerate anything other than immediate impact. We can shift our mindset, but we are in structures that will not support that mindset.Kate: In my writing about grief, I talk a lot about normalizing where you are—even in despair, we are where we need to be. The same goes for those moments of despair in our work. It’s normal to feel blocked. The trick is, how do we keep trying when we are in that despairing space?Tim: The role of faith—not religious faith, but the faith to leap despite uncertainty, dysfunction of dominant systems, persistent failures, or the collapse of relationships. In that moment, do we retreat, to protect what matters (turf protection), or when everything’s gone crazy, is it faith that helps us muster up a more movement-enabling response? Leaping into the void is our job. How can we better sell that leap to the dominant system? And how do we evaluate the success of that leap?Tuesday: I just realized why we like working with Kate—you work in the emergent at a cellular level. You speak to it and language it in a really unique way.Tim recommends checking out the seminal piece that Kate helped us write: The Big Bang of Equity + Systems Change. Representing a collaborative effort to find new language to put down the root system of The Outside. This new language we have found positions us differently. Global organizations have reached out to us now because of how we show up, and we’re only six months old. And we’ve been doing this work for many years.Kate: I was the Outsider. I am an ally and a cheerleader, but I am not in the work you’re doing. I am not connected to what you are connected to. I’m an island. In other organizations I’ve worked with, I’ve seen a paralysis of enthusiasm—everyone echoing each other but ultimately saying nothing meaningful to anyone outside that circle. But you’re so immersed, you can’t understand anyone being deaf to it. My job, as a writer, is to be an outsider. I don’t want to be immersed. I need the words I surface to bring in people who aren’t already bought-in. You’ve got to resonate to someone who really doesn’t get it. The words that feel comfortable to you, as the organization, are not enough.Tuesday: Our field is known for being a bit woo-woo. How do we bridge between what is deeply emergent, evocative, experiential work and make it possible for people who haven’t yet been in the work with us get it?Kate: Question the pull towards what feels like ‘authoritative’ language. What you think you need to sound like. What you think ‘success’ sounds like. When you get go of the façade of knowing everything as a brand or organization, you start edging towards your team’s human voice.Tim: A professional presentation and story imbues what you’re doing with trust. They need to see the humanity behind your work, and only presenting well can deliver the clarity that sets up that humanity.Kate: We need to balance the presentation of radical competence with the presence of heart.Kate reads another short book excerpt on the metaphor of photographic composition—how white space makes room for clarity in our personal life stories as much as our movements.Song of the day: Get Up, Stand Up by Bob MarleySubscribe to the podcast now—in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or anywhere else you find podcasts.
