February 16, 2024 Author Spotlight, Why We Write

Being Brave Enough to Improve and Finding Flow for Writing through Painting with Lisa Rogers

Sorry for my lateness with today’s podcast! It is Friday but I am here and with another sparkling author interview on “Getting to The Heart of Why We Write.” Today, we have Lisa Rogers whose recent book Beautiful Noise: The Music of John Cage illustrated by Il Sung Na has received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and more!

I cannot thank Lisa enough for sharing her time with me, or you for taking the time to listen along with us and share the journey we’re all on in this writing life.

Here are some highlights:

  • Her words of advice to her younger self
  • The enormous role the writing community has played in her life
  • How important young readers are for authors, they are savvy, know what they like, and are not to be underestimated.
  • Her creativity refills–gardening, writing poetry, painting, and more.
  • The moment she was about to give up

Thank you again, Lisa, for your time! And congratulations on your upcoming books and all you’ve done so far. 🙂

In the meantime, catch up on “Why We Write” until next week when we will welcome Michelle Lee to the show!
