1. hello there, team curiosity☺️
And we’re back! Hello, Team Curiosity! This season, we’re mixing things up a bit here at Turning to Story. Every other week (that’s the goal, at least), we’re introducing a guest whose craft we respect so they can share their knowledge with us. These episodes will still be craft-focused, rather than interview-focused.
We’re kicking off with not one, but TWO author friends! You may know them from their podcast, Of the Publishing Persuasion. They’re lovely humans with a wonderful outlooks and upbeat attitudes toward craft and publishing.
Please welcome (cue Anna drumming on microphone)… Angela Montoya and Melanie Schubert!
2. the key to success is…fun. and friends.🗝️
In this episode, Angela and Melanie walk us through how they’ve utilized the powers of friendly competition and friendship to continue to grow as writers. In this heart-to-heart with plenty of laughs, we discuss…
Combatting imposter syndrome
Finding inspiration in tv and film
Keeping craft as the ultimate goal
Remembering your “why”
The importance of living life outside of writing
Getting rid of your ego
The benefits of group brainstorming
Drafting races

The art of the pivot”
It’s a good one, lovelies, and we are so excited to share it with you.
