Episode notes

Kerry Gilky: One of the more challenging aspects of writing is the lack of immediate feedback. She says that even if you're an introverted warrior, there's still that real time feedback. Gilky suggests three focus blocks a week dedicated to exploring this idea with other people so they get some progress and traction on it. After she shares her tips for getting back in touch with your inner writer, we'll hear from Kerry again next week.

Every week on the SPARKED podcast, we invite a listener to share what’s going on in their work & life, then pose a specific question to Jonathan Fields and a rotating lineup of wise and kind mentors - the SPARKED Braintrust.

In today’s episode we’re in conversation with:
