My guest this week is retired clinical psychologist Pam Munter.

Pam's written four books and had more than 150 personal essays published over the years. Her latest book is Fading Fame: Women of a Certain Age in Hollywood, a collection of ten short stories and two plays about the troubled lives of strong and talented women who survived #MeToo. Pam also writes a lot of non-fiction and memoirs.

In our interview, she talks about her approach to writing short stories, plays, and personal essays and talks about her life as a stage performer and a clinical psychologist.

Pam also has a fascinating insight into the creative process, which is worth listening to in the middle of the interview. 

If you feel that writing is a bit of a lonely profession, this is a conversation you want to hear.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to balance writing with a professional career
  • Dealing with feedback 
  • Outlining stories in advance vs free writing
  • Should writers attach value to their work?
  • How long Pam spends writing each day
  • Tips on getting published in journals
