🎙️ Exciting News! 🎙️

I am thrilled to announce that I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible romance author, Synithia Williams on the latest episode of Black Writer Therapy! In this episode, Synithia opens up about her journey as a romance writer and shares some powerful insights and experiences that are sure to inspire and motivate new and aspiring writers.

Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

1️⃣ The beauty of flexibility: Synithia emphasizes the importance of efficiency in the writing process. While she uses outlines to plan her scenes, she acknowledges that characters may deviate from the initial plan, and that's okay! The focus should be on the outcome of the scene rather than sticking rigidly to the outline. This allows for organic storytelling and authentic character development.

2️⃣ The healing power of writing: Synithia discusses how writing has become a form of therapy for her. She shares how her writing has evolved, becoming more layered in emotion and thought-out over time. By exploring her own emotions through her characters, she has found a way to deal with and express her deepest feelings. Writing has helped her heal from damaging belief systems instilled during her childhood and young adulthood.

3️⃣ Representation matters: Synithia addresses the importance of telling diverse stories and challenges the pressure to conform to certain expectations in the publishing industry. While some have suggested she include white characters in her books, Synithia stays true to her own experiences and interests. She is passionate about creating narratives that reflect her unique perspective. By staying authentic to herself, she hopes to pave the way for more Black voices in the industry.

I couldn't be more grateful to Synithia Williams for sharing her story and wisdom with us. This episode is truly a treasure trove for writers and enthusiasts alike. Make sure to tune in to Black Writer Therapy on your favorite podcast platform to hear this incredible conversation!
