It's Mental Health Awareness Week in the United Kingdom, which, yes, is not our home base.
But that is where Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn is located, and that's guiding the topic of her most recent podcast.
Author Toby Neal, who's also a mental health therapist, joined her on the podcast to discuss not just how writers can manage their mental health, but also how they can use their art to process it — and entertain.
You can read Neal and Penn's conversation about mental health in writing or listen to the audio on The Creative Penn.
On a similar vein, but from a different perspective (that of a layperson), author James Polkinghorn discussed how trauma and empathy help in creating character in a post for Writer's Digest.
