Krista King | 'The Write One' at 'The Write Time' | COVE Podcast 34

When a blueprint transforms into a story that others can hold in their hands, it's not just ink on paper—it's a voyage of dreams becoming tangible realities. This week, COVE Podcast host Paul Carganilla is joined by a long-time friend who has danced from the vibrant avenues of fan fiction to the bold terrain of published authorship. It's one thing to create art in the solitude of your own mind, but to share that art with the world requires a courageous leap of faith. Our guest opens up about the complex navigation of apprehension and yearning that accompanies the release of one's creations into the wild. An enlightening interaction on a movie set, coupled with the guiding hand of mentorship during the unpredictability of a global pandemic, were the sparks that ignited a journey from private scribbles to the invigorating exposure of publication—testimonials to the profound impact of community encouragement and the unexpected directions where creativity can lead.
This episode isn't just an exploration of one creator's path; it's a clarion call to all the dreamers on the verge of stepping into their own creative realms. We swap tales and impart wisdom for those teetering on the edge of their own artistic expeditions, underscoring the richness that unfolds when one dares to traverse into the unknown. With every shared story and piece of advice, we aim not only to motivate but to provide a beacon for those navigating the tides of their passions. Join us for this uplifting session, where the synergy between creativity, friendship, and the support of a vibrant community shines as the guiding light for all aspiring artists.
