Real-World Parallels in Black Fantasy with L. Penelope

I am thrilled to announce that I had the privilege of hosting the incredible L. Penelope in the latest session of Black Writer Therapy! We delved deep into her writing journey, personal growth, and the thought-provoking themes in her epic fantasy series, “The Earth Singer Chronicles.”

Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ Stay Grounded: L. Penelope highlighted the importance of keeping oneself grounded and actively engaging in meditation. It’s crucial for writers and individuals to understand their beliefs and explore how they can address real-life conflicts through their writing.

2️⃣ Workshops & Community Support: L. Penelope praised the impact of workshops and finding a community of writers who understand the unique challenges faced by black women writers. Through workshops like Vona Voices and Hurston Writers, she gained valuable insights, connected with professionals, and found the inspiration to believe in her ability to publish her book.

3️⃣ Prioritize, Learn, & Finish Tasks: L. Penelope emphasized the importance of prioritizing tasks, continuously learning, and finishing what you start. She encouraged aspiring writers to seek educational opportunities, join writing groups, and engage in professional development to enhance their craft.

Questions for further discussion.

1. How does practicing meditation and grounding oneself contribute to personal growth as a writer?

2. What are some ways to ensure authentic representation of black writers in literature?

3. How have real-world parallels influenced your writing and the messages conveyed in your stories?

4. Can you share a personal experience where reading or writing served as an outlet for your emotions?
