Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggets is the author of 21 BOOKS, Y'ALL--more than one of them have won awards, including her two most recent: "Black Joy" and "Then They Came for Mine." In this episode, Tracey shares a ton of particulars, or what she called before we started recording her "cheat codes":
- How considering herself a storyteller instead of a memoirist or novelist helps her find her way along her throughline
- How her experience as an English professor shapes her writing practice today (and what advice she gives her student that she no longer observes)
- What walking has to do with creativity
- The specifics of her morning routine
- The exact tools she uses to help her "open up to the page" (I definitely learned some things that I'm gonna be trying!)
