Here’s a clip from The Mind of Sai Marie podcast today featuring author Emily Andrews! In this episode, we dive deep into regional storytelling, the quiet grit of indie authorship, and the power of finding hope in the margins.

We explore the unique experience of creating outside major literary hubs, the freedom found in independent publishing, and how holding onto wonder—even through life’s hardest seasons—mirrors our own search for creative sovereignty. Channeling Oscar Wilde, Emily shares her insights on quiet resilience, community, and what it means to keep staring at the stars.

00:00how do you navigate the quiet solitude of writing while building warm, meaningful connections
00:04with readers across the distance? I think that until I really thought about it, it does go back
00:12to the Oscar Wilde quote, that no matter how bad it gets, and it can get so bad for so
00:19many people,
00:19we keep going. And I think that's kind of a beautiful thing. It brings a sense of awe. We
00:28look for senses of awe for, with the supernatural and with, you know, the unknown in space and things
00:34like that. But we need to find more of the awe in each other and the awe of someone who
00:39went through
00:39the worst of the worst. And then, you know, they're getting up and getting their coffee at Starbucks
00:44the next day, like nothing happened is not inspiring, but it's a moment that we need to respect.
