In this episode of Emerging Form, Rosemerry and Christie discuss how their recent traumas affected their creative output and how taking a break from writing ultimately helped their creative process.

A quick note: after we recorded this podcast, we were hit with yet another cascade of sadness and we need to take a short break to focus on self-care. We will be back in a few weeks, and when we do we will have some exciting news to share. In the meantime, paid subscribers will receive a very special bonus episode next Thursday, and all paid subscriptions will be put on hold (you won’t be charged) until we return (very soon, we promise!).
