It's the holiday season: a kaleidoscope of presents, tinsel, caroling, food, melancholy, guilt, broken childhood memories – and a sheep with no face. Today we're discussing Cam's new Christmas short story, Wooltide Cheer, which you can listen to here: https://www.cameronfucile.com/ Maggie and Tristan lead a conversation through Cam's creative process, from the real-life ornament that inspired the idea, the anxiety of finding a happy ending for a sad story, the freedom of writing without a plan, and the joy of finding your own character's voice. We also tackle the theory that all art is autobiographical, and use the story as a framework to discuss the intense attachment to ornaments that we develop, and our evolving relationships with holiday tradition as we age.
