#PatFlewwelling #Interviews #BooktubePat Flewwelling is back! Sarcastica herself has returned from the distant past. Counting down to episode 1000, I had to bring back one of my all time favorite early guests of the show. We catch up like good old friends and we talk about creativity.

“Where our power comes from actually is in that space between the 'I' and the 'you'—that shared space. If we could tap into that, if we can find ways of working together, to form what I called 'shared agency,' then we can actually gain a lot of power to affect change.” In this episode, we welcome Min Hyoung Song, a Professor of English and the Director of the Asian American Studies Program at Boston College, as well as a steering committee member of Environmental Studies and an affiliated faculty member of African and African Diaspora Studies. He is the author of three books: Climate Lyricism (Duke, 2022), The Children of 1965: On Writing, and Not Writing, as an Asian American (Duke, 2013) and Strange Future: Pessimism and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots (Duke, 2005).  (The musical offering featured in this episode Power by India Blue.

Author Patti Wigington visits to discuss her latest book, "Candle Magic Journal and Handbook; A Guide to Performing Spells, Setting Intentions, and Recording Your Magical Practice". From the author's website - pattiwigington.com: I began writing when I was seven. Since then, I've grown up (a little) and published a few books, a whole bunch of columns, and a few short stories. I can't imagine Not Writing, and even when I'm bogged down with my full-time job (yes, I have one, and it's not writing), I still need to spew words out onto the screen. I have to – if I don't, I get cranky, and the voices in my head get louder. I've been practicing as a witch and a Pagan since about 1987ish, and in that time I've learned a lot. I'm the founder and high priestess of a local coven, I read Tarot for funsies, and am a licensed minister in my home state of Ohio. In addition to having a Real Grownup Job (with the world's most patient boss), I spent thirteen years, from 2007 to 2020, as the host of the Paganism & Wicca pages on About.com, which later became ThoughtCo and then LearnReligions. That led to a lot of opportunities, including speaking engagements and the chance to teach workshops, as well as the ability to write a few really cool books on witchy stuff. I've raised three children who are remarkably well-adjusted adults, despite their mother's best efforts to turn them into very strange people, and I sometimes Tweet random things on Twitter. Come along and Stalk Me on Facebook, too!

Not Writing? Here are some solutions to the top three problems keeping you from your writing.

And so it begins. The holidays. Here in the U.S., Thanksgiving kind of kicks things off with gatherings and feasts and shopping and decorating. Over the weekend, lights blink on in neighborhood yards and Bing Crosby will croon Christmas tunes from the stereo most nights. It’s hard to know how much writing we can actually produce in the middle of the holidays. Do we write, or take a break? If we write, how much and how often? If we take a break, for how long? Writing and Not Writing on Breaks During Christmas break, my husband usually arranges for time off work between Christmas and New Year’s Day so he can coordinate with the kids’ break from school. When the children were little, I’d keep work hours to a minimum or put my writing and editing on pause during that time, to rest and focus on family. We avoided ambitious plans and stayed low key. We’d sleep in, work on a big puzzle, and watch movies. But in more recent years, I’ve been known to keep work hours during the holidays, finishing up a long project during the break because the kids sleep in and the house is quiet. In fact, one year we decided to travel to visit family during that break. We left town the day after Christmas, and on the long drive south I spent hours poring over a client’s book manuscript to offer developmental input. I remember phoning my client about the project, chatting about various chapters while looking out the windshield of our RV, wipers swishing away the rain. After days of balancing my Macbook Pro on my lap, making notes and recommendations, shooting emails back and forth, reviewing changes, and finalizing chapters, the author and I celebrated. We met the deadline. So I’ve done both. I’ve written, and not written during the holidays. Deciding How to Write in the Middle of the Holidays When I grapple with how to handle my writing during the holidays—or when I consider totally unplugging—I think through my family’s expectations and needs as well as my deadlines and work responsibilities in light of the overall plans. And that can change from year to year. Will I be hosting Thanksgiving for just my immediate family? Will others join us? Or will we be invited to someone else’s house for the day? During Christmas break, have the kids made a lot of plans with friends, or will they be relaxing at home? Do I feel a more urgent need to take a significant break myself or could I write for small stretches when others are sleeping or occupied? You may have other traditions or events to celebrate with a different set of expectations for participation. Each writer has to take into account his own personality, traditions, and obligations when deciding how much to work—or whether to work at all—during the holidays. Deadlines: Consider your writing deadlines. Do you have something due before the end of the year or in early January, like my client did that one year? You might have to squeeze in a few minutes most days or a chunk of time on a couple of days. If you’re flexible, however, without any hard deadlines, you might have the option of a longer break. Work feels like play: For a lot of writers, projects feel less like work and more like play. If that’s you, taking time to write in the middle of the holidays may not even feel like work; instead, your writing may offer a healthy mental and emotional break. Non-writing activities: What kinds of non-writing tasks related to your writing could you tackle? While everyone else is watching football, maybe you could grab a notebook and brainstorm ideas for an upcoming assignment or generate an outline? What about creating a detailed to-do list, breaking a major project into smaller, actionable steps? Could that be done in the midst of holidays, without distracting you too much or disrupting the fun? Routines: Have you established a writing routine? Given the momentum you may have gained from that discipline,

Elisabeth and Merianna talk about writer identities. Are you a plotter or a pantser or perhaps a plantser (like most of us)? They talk about overcoming imposter syndrome and how there is not one way to become a writer. They steal from Dr. Whitley’s great wisdom and conclude association does not mean causation.  Show Notes: The Perfect Medium Post Sam Harrelson on Post Storytelling Superpower Quiz  Writer’s Digest  An Interlude: Bay to Breakers 6 Qualities of a Successful Writing Life Rebecca Stead  Donna Tartt Talks About Goldfinch Veronica Roth  The Art of Not Writing  What are Elisabeth and Merianna reading this week?
