In episode nine of Comics Karma, Lauren calls in from Yaddo, where she is in a totally intense headspace and is finishing a chapter with the luxury of not having to worry about daily, ordinary tasks. We caught up with her for an hour to talk about this experience.
Then we welcomed SAW member Janice Goldberg, to talk about imposter syndrome, and about when it’s ok to take a break on a very intense, personal story. This led to a discussion about “telling our story” vs daily therapeutic aspects of drawing and writing, about catharsis, about improv, about personal transformation, and about all the things we go through when tackling intense situations in our art.
Give it a listen !
And come back for more.
We’ll be answering a different student each week for a few more weeks! Recorded at SAW on Zoom
Thanks for listening!
