In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I reflect on a joyful backyard movie night, the unexpected emotional morning that followed, and a walk that became a reminder to notice the stories unfolding all around us. From friendship and laughter to faith, nature, awkward conversations, and the writing life, this episode explores how paying attention—to people, creation, and our own hearts—can bring peace, hope, and inspiration for both living and storytelling.

Writers can get caught up in the details of publishing and forget to lift our heads and look around. From discovering the worldwide publishing community to noticing a mother deer and her fawns, this episode explores how looking beyond our own creative bubble can inspire us—without overwhelming us—and help us return to our own stories with fresh wonder. Also, I read from chapters 49-51 of Dark Blade Forged.

Returning home from Realm Makers, I reflect on what I learned about storytelling, the publishing industry, and finding a creative rhythm again. Plus, an update on my revisions to Dark Blade Unchained and a reading from Dark Blade Forged, chapters 46 and 47.
