<![CDATA[The Margin Scrawls]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/themarginscrawls Two sisters. One thousand tabs. Not enough ink.

Join us as we navigate the creative process while trying not to tumble into rabbit holes or lose any plot bunnies. From half-finished notes in the margins to sparks of inspiration that refuse to stay in their lane, we explore storytelling, creativity, and all the unexpected detours along the way. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s magical—but it’s always authentically us.

When Something is Missing (And You Keep Going Anyway)

Release Date:

04/17/2026

Episode Length:

00:00–13:50

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, I’m talking about what it means to keep creating (or not) when everything goes pear-shaped.

We recently lost our drummer, Ozz, and while I’m not ready to do a full tribute episode just yet, I am sitting in the space that loss leaves behind—and deciding what it does to my own creativity.

This episode isn’t about pushing through or pretending everything is fine. It’s about showing up honestly, even when things feel quieter, heavier, or uncertain.

If you’ve ever tried to create while carrying something hard—this one’s for you.

What We Talk About in This Episode

  • Ozz and his impact on my creativity and bass playing
  • Do we create when we experience loss or is it not your jam?
  • I say um and trip over my words a lot
  • This was weird without my sister.
