[Amy Shearn, What’s coming up]: The pursuit of being a “joyful amateur”, counteracting the slide of turning into a “human shrimp”, and dreams of starting a cat farm. Ep 1199
Manage episode 483071683 series 3378197
Welcome back to part three of the Finding the Throughline interview with Amy Shearn, the award-winning author of five critically-acclaimed novels, including her latest book which just came out, “Animal Instinct.” Amy has also published hundreds of essays in publications like Real Simple, “O: The Oprah Magazine”, and the “New York Times” Modern Love column and has nearly twenty years of experience editing for digital publications. Amy also teaches creative writing and works one on one with writers as an editor and/or book coach.
In today’s episode, we cover:
- How she refills her creative well after publishing and promoting a book
- Why she’s on a kick of reading writers’ and artists’ published journals
- A sneak peek at the novel project she’s diving into next
- The three things on her to-do list for later in the afternoon that perfectly encapsulate her answer to my question “Is there anything you sense that you need to shift?”
- A lovely vision of a rustic writing retreat/cat farm
- The series that really had a hold on her
- The recent album she’s listened to so much she’s forgotten about all other music
