Published by Katherine
Writers are exceptionally good at telling stories, and not all of them end up in our books. The Stories Writers Tell Themselves is a limited audio series by novelist Katherine Collette about the stories writers make up about rejection, comparison, success, failure and what everything means, and what happens when we start to see those stories a little differently. Ten stories, plus a bonus walking meditation for writers. Listen from the beginning or start with the story that sounds most like yours.
