Finding the Throughline: Conversations about the Creative Process invites you into the minds of writers and other creatives as they open up about their process, their doubts, and what kinds of changes they’re thinking about making. The questions are mildly invasive, honestly, and the answers are unvarnished…and so refreshing!
Whether your creative work is writing, painting, making music, parenting, or simply living, Finding the Throughline can help you get—and stay—inspired. Invigorated, even.

[Catherine Bush: What’s coming up]: Figuring out what you want the next 5-10 years to look like Ep 1217
My guest this week is Catherine Bush, whose critically-acclaimed fiction (her book “Blaze Island” was named a “Globe and Mail” best book of the year and “The Rules of Engagement” was a “New York Times” notable book) often addresses the climate question. For example, in her most recent collection, “Skin”, a man falls in love with the wind.
In this final part of our interview, we covered:- How and why she’s devoted to giving the natural world the same level of attention and care as her characters.- The books that incorporate nature and climate into their primary narratives that have been inspiring her lately- How she’s trying to address climate through the lens of a love for the natural world instead of despair- Writing about “weird, unusual intimacies” in her stories that make people laugh instead of cringe- The book she’s hoping to spend the next five years writing- Why it’s good for writers to have things in their life that regularly take them away from their work- Trying to figure out where she wants to live in retirement- The Sri Lankan tea she’s addicted to, even though she can’t easily get it
