Great interview! My favorite part was Samantha’s story about her interaction with the vice principal in 5th grade. Such a good reminder about how a positive interaction or a bit of encouragement with a young kid can really change their life. Also, Samantha’s playlist strategy sounds amazing and I am going to try to figure out something similar!
Wonderful interview, Samantha and Alexis. I'm not a poet, but the stanzas as rooms concept really struck a chord. I can see how that could be quietly powerful for many types of writing.

Thanks, Lindsey!
The interaction with her vice principal was a very sweet one, and I agree that that type of encouragement is so important. At any age, really!
A playlist I've been enjoying (while writing) lately is this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E4oK3BK49nlRU?si=59cd009a9e7542d7
In particular, this song gets me hyped (not sure of your music preferences though): https://open.spotify.com/track/4KjNEsQ4jkqXwCmsn71a9p?si=15ce63c9f19e487b
Also, brain.fm app is really good for deep work, creativity, and relaxation (at least I think so): https://www.brain.fm/

Thank you! Yes, that is a great analogy. Love to see how different writers approach their work.
