In this episode of We Should Write, Lindsay sits down with Annie McCormick, a writer who made the bold decision to sell her home, let go of her belongings, and travel the world by pet sitting in order to create space for what she was always meant to do: write. What began as a life of wandering turned into a creative awakening, leading Annie to publish her first novel Runaway Kane and build an entire fictional world shaped by freedom, risk, and imagination.
Together, Lindsay and Annie explore what it means to model adventure as an empty nester, how fiction can become a second life where truth feels safer to tell, and why imagination is just as essential to healing as self-reflection. They talk about writing on the road, identity without reputation, discipline versus inspiration, and the quiet permission that comes from starting over later than expected. This conversation is an invitation to loosen your grip on the plan, trust curiosity, and remember that sometimes the bravest thing you can do for your writing is make room for it.
