Feb 1900:46:48Tap to summarizeIn Episode 8 of Moss & Myth, Liz and Natalia return to something simple and powerful: “To be a writer, you only need to write. ”This episode is a celebration of creativity without permission. Of calling yourself a writer before anyone else does. Of putting words on the page even when they’re messy, unfinished, or deeply personal. Natalia shares her first poem of 2026 — a marker of intention and creative renewal. Liz shares a deeply meaningful piece titled “January” — written years ago as a love letter to depression, where depression itself is personified as January. It’s tender. It’s honest. It’s the kind of piece that lingers. We also: Reflect on the mentors who shape us (including a special thank you to Liz’s college mentor, Rick)Talk about what it means to begin again creativelyDream about attending romantasy conventionsDebate our preferred travel-planning styles (because writers also need adventures)This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered: Am I allowed to call myself a writer?If you write — you are.🌿 Moss & Myth is a podcast about stories, identity, creativity, and the mythologies we carry within us.If this episode resonates, tell us — what are you writing right now?#MossAndMyth#PoetryPodcast#WritersLife#CreativeProcess#OriginalPoetry#WomenWhoWrite#WritingCommunity#MentalHealthInArt#Romantasy#creativejourney
