Writing Struggles, Story-Pairing Dinners, and Other Life Updates

Ali and Kristy are back in the SOWAL House podcast booth to “shoot the shit” and look back on all things life, Emerald Coast Storytellers, the future and beyond. It’s been almost six months since we recorded our very first episode and, boy, did we have a lot to cover. 

In this episode, Kristy gives her latest pregnancy update including a mini gender reveal and the fact that her little one is apparently the same size as a Mr. Potato Head. Ali shares the latest report from “The Kitty Palace,” aka the land of a million cats and counting, in which we reveal the fun fact of what our January Featured Storyteller Kuk Harrell, his Grammys, and Ali’s cats have in common. And together, the girls look back on some highlights from various Storyteller events this year, launching the first-ever Story-Pairing Dinner Series, and heading to Nashville for their first “Storytellers on the Road.” 

Other topics of discussion: continued writing struggles (as well as a few writing wins along the way). Venturing into Parnassus Books and experiencing Ann Patchett’s magical bookstore for the first time. Accidentally matching outfits (against Kristy’s will). Ali sending manic texts at 1 AM and “notifying anyway” when Kristy turns on “Do Not Disturb.” As well as what’s next for Kristy, Ali, and Emerald Coast Storytellers.
