Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show focuses on various aspects of writing including creative strategies, writing rituals, and the publishing industry. Specific topics covered include embracing imperfection in drafts, the role of collaboration, sensitivity in writing diverse characters, and the psychological impact of fiction, as seen in episodes featuring authors like Marisa Wolf and Kacey Ezell.
Hosted by writer Rachel Clair and intuitive writing coach Neno Littlewood, StoryStruck is a space for candid conversations about being a writer. We dive into the magical bits, the messy parts, and the moments that make you question your sanity while emotionally spiraling over fictional characters at 2 a.m.
We talk about storytelling, creativity, publishing, artistic identity, and the emotional reality of being a writer. Some episodes are thoughtful. Some are chaotic. And our search histories and voice notes definitely have us on a watch list somewhere.
At its heart, StoryStruck is about connection, the stories that shape us, and the characters who refuse to leave our heads. No gatekeeping. No pretending we have everything figured out. Just real chats between two writers who genuinely love stories and the people who tell them.
Oh, and there will absolutely be cat cameos.
New episodes weekly.
A casual conversation about romance, spice levels, yearning, fictional crushes, and how two writers somehow ended up talking about this for hours over voice memos.
In this episode, we dive into everything from cozy hand-holding romances to the spiciest corners of romantasy, explore why readers love romance in the first place, and share our own very different relationships with spicy scenes. Along the way we discuss emotional intimacy, character chemistry, sapphic stories, reverse harems, BookTok trends, and the awkward reality of writing romantic scenes when your characters have very different plans than you do.
This one somehow includes Jane Austen, fairy smut, reverse harems, neurodivergence, and the realization that writers should probably never have their text voice memos and convos played in public.
