Today, Patty talks with Becky Karush, the founder of Read to Me Literary Arts, a writing school where writers learn to dazzle themselves and us with fresh, brilliant writing.

In this episode, Becky shares her experience in starting Read to Me and realizes how reading stories to her son might have influenced it.

Becky also shares her experience writing her book so far, how she knew that it was time to write simply from a physical feeling, by experiencing a sense of groundedness and joy. Her book starts with a time-traveling character and writing to see who this character becomes as she goes through her journey, letting the plot and the story develop naturally.

Becky talks about what she has seen over and over again in her writing salons: the deep fear and cultural messaging telling aspiring writers “No,” “you can’t,” and “you shouldn’t.” Having a community of writers and constant encouragement helps. A safe space where smart, inspired writers can feel encouraged and empowered to write.

This episode is a conversation on stories, doubts, living on the edge of vulnerability, and the encouragement you need to foster that “fluff” inside you to let it grow into a garden.
