Excellent edition, Liisa! Kim, as always, thanks for being so generous with your thoughts on writing and the world. Your intentionality and care -- is a model for the rest of us. I love watching your growth as a writer.
I appreciate this format with responses by featured women writers sharing how they make time for writing, what their writing spaces and processes look like, and advise they have taken and left. I agree with both lots of reading and not limiting yourself to writing about what you know. So much of life is about the process of continuous learning, figuring things out, grappling with, reckoning with, etc. and that place of writing from can be a place readers can relate to. I like writing about what Iβm learning about. Thanks, Kim, for sharing your thoughts and experience as well as the photo of your writing room and your dog.
Oooo! I love that advice to read as much or more than you write! It really can be well-filling!
Agreed! So, that means we can get more books, right?
Thatβs what Iβm thinking!!! πππ

Hi Anna, Kiitos! I love finding out about how writers work and what works for them. I think it's an ever evolving process.
