Come Hear How Two Friends Made the Leap to Public Authors – Together

Here are some excerpts:

[We had a] Deep need to claim and develop our identities as artists, and desire to build futures beyond mothering.

Writing for the sake of writing is a beautiful thing. That’s where the poetry and beauty lie. But there came a point, for both of us, where we respected each other’s work enough to say “this must be shared” or “you are saying something so universal, so poignant, it must be seen”. To that end, we kind of egged each other on. 

Now, we get up and “go to work,” we get to our desks and write and meet every day. This is a big sea change in our lives.

We built websites and share the work on social media. The “like and comment” element of social is new and odd. We have also had to contend with embarking during a very tense and difficult time, so we have had to be tender with our work and to consider its impact in a way we may not have had to do in another time.

The structure of our weeks now has publishing built into it. We hold each other accountable – to force the consistent schedule of write, edit, publish, repeat.
