In the Summer of 2023, my friend Eliza Kent & I sat down to record this podcast episode on each other’s writing projects at the time. We’ve met around four years ago through Instagram’s wide writing community, read through each other’s novels to sending each other a poem here and there. With parallels in our creative career, we’ve witnessed each other writing & publishing each a fiction novel (Devil & A Half, Eliza Kent & It was her, Bonnie Orbison) and a poetry collection (You Were the Graveyard, Eliza Kent & Pretty Tennessee, Bonnie Orbison).
We discuss how poetry isn’t made for mass consumption and cannot become the fast fashion of writing, every fictional character needs an obsession, how the genre and tone of your novel will influence your moods and how our sexuality already was mirrored in our writing, even though we still were unsure about it.
Main lesson we learned from our friendship is that publishing or sharing your writing with someone is not only helping you to let go of those feelings you wrote on, but also helps you to look objectively on the entire situation.
