  <title>Writing Lessons From A Centenarian with Babette Hughes</title>
  <description> Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!  In this week’s episode I interview author and centenarian, Babette Hughes, about writing later in life, and her new book, Lessons in Evil.  We also discuss:  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Why Babette waited until her eighties to become a published author.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Why we should rewrite the narrative around aging.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; How Babette came to write Lessons in Evil.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Why it’s so important to tap into your emotions and unconscious when writing.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; How a traumatic childhood influenced Babette’s stories.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; The role gratitude can plan in your writing career and in banishing imposter syndrome.  ·&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp; Why “lucky” people aren’t all that lucky!  If you’ve ever used the excuse that you’re too old to go after your dreams, or have wondered what’s the secret to living a happy life, then this is the episode for you!
