I call my podcast KnotWork Storytelling because it evokes the image of the Celtic knot. I like the pun about how it’s “not work” because I’m someone who tends to overwork and overcommit. And, it’s called KnotWork because the old stories and the the past centuries they evoke are almost always a tangle. As we fuss with the contradictions and the stuff we’d prefer not to remember, these tales give us a chance to look at all the knots and tangles of modern life from a renewed perspective.
I am sincerely looking forward to the story you craft of the banshee. What a strong person she must be: a prophet whom nobody loves and everybody fears. Already, I am feeling inspired by her for doing the hard work no one wants to do, and few have the clarity to understand. I love that this is the character who arose to the surface on IWD! She demands we look at ALL the women, not just the ones we approve of. Thank you, Marisa!
Oh, Kali, thank you for letting me know that the idea of such a banshee story stirs something for you. It might just write itself, but I have a feeling it will take a long time to develop enough of a relationship with her to get her permission to appear on the page! Knowing you are waiting for her to appear will be a huge source of inspiration!

Oh, sister, thank you! Proof that the hardest and the craziest writing is the stuff that most needs to be said?
