MEGAN HUNTER ON WRITING 'DAYS OF LIGHT' SHOP TALK WITH WRITERS ยท Episode

This pod with #MeganHunter was such fun to record. Her novel DAYS OF LIGHT is a masterpiece of controlled, almost musical storytelling. Megan paints on large canvases with light brushstrokes, on the page as well as in conversation. Have a listen.

Iโ€™m not looking at any planets in alignment tonight, rare as that sight may be, because THIS planet is depressing enough. Maybe next time around.

We live in times so bad they are reaching mythic proportions. Writing and all arts help, but reading even more so. Not social media, but deep thoughts on how mankind responded to similar crises. We donโ€™t need superheroes, just the power of truth. Oppressive regimes were always built on lies. Tips?
