Balancing Vulnerability and Memories in Art
Manage episode 401871071 series 3505886
Authors Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith approach a challenging topic in Season 5, Episode 12 of QWERTY Writing Life—how to balance vulnerability and memories in art. They offer five tips to avoid unhealthy bleeding out of emotions in public art while still seizing the opportunity to heal through creativity.
In addition to practical tips creatives can implement, Joy and Mea share personal examples from their own books to show how they’ve used or are using their tips to share emotional pieces with readers.
