M Frost

Megan Davis, writing under the pen name M. Frost, explains how her relationship with her mother influenced her love for stories and mythology. As they read together, she began to see these ancient tales from a new perspective, recognizing the strength and complexity of the female figures often overshadowed by male counterparts. This realization inspired her to write poetry that celebrates these women, allowing them to take center stage. One of the most intriguing aspects of our conversation was Megan's approach to writing. She emphasizes the importance of capturing ideas as they come, whether by jotting them down on paper or recording them on her phone. This method ensures that no spark of inspiration is lost, allowing her to transform these ideas into fully realized poems or stories later on. She also shares her thoughts on the balance between drafting and editing, encouraging aspiring writers to embrace the creative process without the pressure of perfection. To learn more about M. Frost and what she's working on, visit http://mfrostwords.com/  If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review, and share it with fellow authors and book lovers who would benefit from Megan's valuable insights.
