Finding the Throughline: Conversations about the Creative Process invites you into the minds of writers and other creatives as they open up about their process, their doubts, and what kinds of changes they’re thinking about making. The questions are mildly invasive, honestly, and the answers are unvarnished…and so refreshing! Whether your creative work is writing, painting, making music, parenting, or simply living, Finding the Throughline can help you get—and stay—inspired. Invigorated, even.

  • Six writers share how they get their writing done Ep 1289

    Six writers share how they get their writing done Ep 1289
    Sep 21 2026
    Welcome to our third and final compilation episode where I share answers from six different writers to just one of my questions from the Finding the Throughline questionnaire. This week that question is: How do you get your writing done?Let's find out how the sausage gets made!Allegra Goodman, Octavia Randolph, Eric J. Dolan, Sheree L. Greer, Susan Scarf Merrell, and Daisy Florin give us a peel at both the practical side of whether they write every day, what tools they use, where they are, what time it is, as well as the mindset side of how they think about themselves and their work that helps them be both creative and productive.I hope hearing these answers will make you want to crack open that notebook or create a brand new document and get going. Or that they help you appreciate a little more the labor that goes into the books, articles, and essays you love to read.The writers you’ll hear from today are a mix of novelists, essayists, historians, and writing mentors. One thing that jumped out at me listening to what they had to say is that everyone’s approach is so individual… which says to me that there’s no one way to get your writing done, and if you have the desire to write, there’s a way for you to be able to do it, no matter your working style, preferences, or tendencies.

  • Six writers share how they stay inspired Ep 1288

    Six writers share how they stay inspired Ep 1288
    Aug 31 2026
    This week I've got another compilation episode for you to enjoy while I take the rest of the summer off from producing new episodes.In today’s episode, I’m sharing answers from six different writers to the question: What is your favorite part of the writing process? What really lights you up and keeps you going?The writers you’ll hear from today are a mix of journalists, novelists, essayists, memoirists, and historians–and sometimes they tick multiple of these boxes. They include Christine Chitnis, Christopher Castellani, Elizabeth Gonzalez-James, Minda Honey, Kenneth C. Davis, and Lisa See, and I selected this group not just because I loved our conversations and know you will too, and not only because they’re a diverse mix of genres, ages, genders, and races, but also because they were really eloquent about the parts of being a writer that really light them up.As important as I believe it is to talk about the hard things–like dealing with doubt, and finding a way to make money–it’s equally important to focus on the parts you love so much it makes the hard parts easier to handle.Hope you're enjoying the last bits of summer--it lasts until September 21st, despite what the school calendar may say!

  • Producing creative work while holding down a day job Ep 1287

    Producing creative work while holding down a day job Ep 1287
    Aug 17 2026
    I’m taking a little hiatus during the month of August, but I didn’t want to leave you with nothing new to listen to. So my editor and I have pulled some highlights from some our most-loved conversations that we know you'll enjoy.Something I ask everyone is: How do you make money??Not because I'm a tacky person (although maybe I am, a little) but because one of the biggest things that stops people from pursuing writing more seriously is the fear that they'll never make money.This week, we’re revisiting interviews with writers who also have day jobs. Their insights on how they make their finances work and how they balance their jobs and their writing are equal parts practical and inspiring. Like they say, where there’s a will, there’s a way.In this compilation episode, you'll hear about the realities of holding down a day job while also building a career as a writer from Amy Shearn, Nancy Johnson, John Glynn, Dolen Perkins-Valdez, Beth Macy, and Jenna Blum.
