BY CRYSTAL SCHELLE Special to The News-Post
Writing can be like the 1,100-mile solo hike Cheryl Strayed made along the Pacific Crest Trail.
A blank page can represent the unknown journey awaiting the writer. The first step can be difficult, but with each page written, the author is closer to the destination. Along the way, characters are added and, hopefully, lessons are learned. And when the last word is written, there is a resolution — whether for the character or the writer herself.
On May 2, Strayed, who authored the New York Times best-selling memoir “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” will share her story about becoming an author, screenwriter, teacher and podcaster during the Frederick Speaker Series at the Weinberg Center for the Arts in downtown Frederick.
Strayed, 55, was enjoying a sunny day in her Portland, Oregon, home recently when she chatted by phone about her career. She said her love of writing started in childhood.
“As soon as I learned how to read, I fell in love with books,” she said. “And pretty quickly after that, I started writing stories.”
That passion followed her from elementary school into adulthood. She said she always knew she would do something related to writing, but Strayed described her upbringing as “poor and working-class,” and the idea of being a writer didn’t seem like a stable career path.
However, she loved writing and found a place to write and get paid. In 1987, she worked the summer after she graduated high school as a reporter for her hometown weekly, the Aitkin Independent Age, in Aitkin, Minnesota.
“When I went to college, the idea wasn’t, like, ‘pursue life as an artist’ where you’re probably never gonna make money,” she said. “I was very practical at first about writing. I loved to write creative work, but I needed to major in journalism because that’s how you actually get a job. And that’s what I did my first year in college.”
But then, in the summer before her sophomore year, Strayed took a poetry writing class at the University of Minnesota.

Cheryl Strayed
“I just absolutely was like this is my thing, even if I’ll never make a dime off of it. This [creative writing] is my calling and my passion,” she said. “rom the age of 19 onward, I took my writing very seriously.”
It was during that class that she started calling herself a writer.
With art comes struggle and determination, and Strayed found ways to support her writing and pay the bills. She was a waitress, a youth advocate, an EMT, a teacher … “I was all these different things, but to earn money,” she said. “But what I really was was a writer, and I was honing my craft.”
She was in her 30s when she published her first book, “Torch,” in 2006. The book was a finalist for the Great Lakes Book Award and was selected by The Oregonian as one of the top 10 books of 2006 by writers living in the Pacific Northwest. That novel, she said, allowed her to fulfill her dream of working primarily as a writer.
“I liken it to having your first baby, because the two of these things happened at the same time in my life. I sold ‘Torch’ when I was pregnant with my first child. I remember being pregnant and thinking, I have no idea what to do with the baby. And then the baby gets there, and you’re like, OK, this is how you learn how to have a baby: You have a baby.
“I think that’s the hardest thing about writing your first book — the process,” she went on. “You’re like, how do I do this? And, of course, the answer is you don’t, really. Obviously, you can listen to other writers talk about how they did it, or you just keep putting the sentences on the page. But ultimately, what you have to do is you have to learn how to complete that big, long story that very often feels like you’ll never get to the end of it.”
But it would be her second book, 2012’s “Wild,” that made her a bonafide best-selling author. “Wild” chronicles her 1995 hike along the Pacific Crest Trail at age 22, when she was still reeling from her mother’s death in 1991 and the dissolution of her first marriage. She embarked on a hike from the Mojave Desert, through California and Oregon, and ultimately to Washington by herself and without any prior experience.
She found the hike itself and the writing process to be cathartic.
“That’s what’s so interesting about writing about your life experience. First you get to live it and gain whatever you gain from that experience, but then, of course, writing about your life requires not only deep reflection about what happened and what you felt and what you experienced but also an almost expansive reflection where you think about, well, how is

my experience connected to the larger human experience?”
Strayed said the purpose of writing a memoir isn’t to point to yourself and say, “I’m so interesting. Listen to my story.”
“I think memoirs get a really bad rap. Sometimes people will think, ‘Oh, you have to be a narcissist to write a memoir,’ but nothing could be further from the truth.”
At the heart of the story, she had to show how her story could connect to readers.
“I had to think about how that experience — in losing my mom and grieving my mom and losing my way and then finding my way again on this trail — how that particular experience connected to the ways that people throughout time have grieved and recovered and gotten lost and found themselves again,” she said. “It’s like one was the experience, and one was finding the profound meaning in the experience. When I was writing, I learned a lot from looking back at that hike and writing about it.”
Her book was then made into the 2014 film “Wild,” starring Reese Witherspoon. Before Stayed’s memoir was published, Witherspoon opted for the movie rights. Strayed said there were many conversations with the actress/producer
about how her story would be adapted. It also helped that best-selling author Nick Hornby would write the screenplay. Witherspoon would go on to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.
Handing over something so personal to strangers was a leap of faith, Strayed said, but she found everyone to be collaborative and supportive of one other.
“I also told myself from the beginning that the film was an adaptation of the book I wrote,” she said, “and nothing can change the book. That’s mine. I’m proud of the film and I love it, but it’s the creation of other artists, so I get to have a little emotional distance from it.”
Between writing books, Strayed started writing the Dear Sugar column for The Rumpus in 2010 after the original author, Steve Almond, asked her to take over. She wrote it for two years anonymously before she revealed herself. Today, she publishes it on her Substack newsletter. She later went on to host two successful podcasts with Almond.
“I thought [the column] was just gonna be this little mark of an experience, and it ended up being a wonderful part of my life and my career,” Strayed said.
Her experience led her to write her third book, “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice from Dear Sugar,” published in 2012. In 2023, it was adapted for the small screen for a Hulu series, although Strayed said the idea to adapt it for TV started much earlier. Witherspoon and Laura Dern, who played Strayed’s mother in “Wild,” joined Strayed as executive producers. Writer, producer and author Liz Tigelaar adapted “Tiny Beautiful Things” for television.
Since then, Strayed has published a fourth book, 2015’s “Brave Enough.” She’s taught writing, written screenplays, and spoken about her life and writing.
She was executive producer of the documentary “Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill,” which was released earlier this month in theaters. The film is directed by her husband, documentary filmmaker Brian Lindstrom, and Andy Brown. She and Lindstrom also have a son who is a college freshman and a daughter in high school.
Regarding writing, Stayed believes “we all have important stories to tell” and encourages other writers to find what that story is.
“It can all be so overwhelming to have this big idea and then feel like, where do I begin?” she said. “I think you just start small.”
Crystal Schelle is a journalist whose work has been published locally, regionally and nationally. She enjoys trivia, cats and streaming movies.

Disappointed with the Academy Awards? Then make
There comes a time in everyone’s life when they realize the Academy Awards are a joke.
Maybe it was after a particularly egregious upset, like when “Crash” infamously beat “Brokeback Mountain” for the Best Picture trophy in 2006. Or it could have been after your favorite film or performance of the year was completely shut out of the competition. Or maybe it was the fact that Vanessa Hudgens was invited to the most recent Academy Awards’ red carpet.
Because, unless her latest Netflix film, “The Princess Switch 4: Switched 4 Ever After,” is suddenly getting awards buzz, there is no reason why, in the year of our Lord 2024, Vanessa Hudgens should be on the Academy Awards’ red carpet.
The point is, as much as the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, like to present themselves as the most esteemed and respected honor in the film industry, they’re a total joke. It’s a nearly 100-year-old annual ceremony that rewards the best films and performances not so much on merit but by which movie studio or actor campaigned the most and had the biggest marketing budget.
This isn’t a new topic for me. It’s been a good many years now since I’ve discovered the Oscars are not so much a reward for actual talent but more a totem of Hollywood’s need for selfcongratulatory overindulgence.
But earlier this year, after the latest Academy Award nominations were announced, I found myself getting caught up in the buzz of outrage on social media over the most recent omissions, most notably last year’s megablockbuster “Barbie” missing out on nominations for Best Actress and Best Director. Because, I get it, these snubs for your favorite films and actors can hurt — listen, if social media had been around back when I was a kid, you’d all be getting inundated with numerous tearful TikTok videos from me chastising the Oscars for not nominating Elisabeth Shue’s masterful performance in “Adventures in Babysitting.”
So my advice to all of you bemoaning
your own awards.
All shiny and new and pictured well before festivities on March 9, 1950,
the state of the Academy Awards: Make your own awards.
Come up with your honorees or your own award categories and honor the films and performances that matter the most to you. Unhappy that not enough “Barbie” actors were nominated for Oscars? Then create your own category, Best Performance in the “Barbie” Movie, and nominate everyone so they can all get some kudos.
Or maybe you’re still stinging over Leonardo DiCaprio not getting nominated for Best Actor for “Titanic.” Time to make an award called the Rose DeWitt Bukater Honorary Award for Best Leonardo DiCaprio Performance in a 1997 Motion Picture. And if you have a 20-something supermodel present the award, I bet Leo will come and accept it himself.
Because changing things up with new awards can only be a good thing. By now, the Academy Awards have gotten fairly predictable, and it’s pretty much common knowledge what and who they like to honor. If you’ve made a big war epic or a sumptuously romantic costume drama, then you’re most likely being nominated for something.
We need new awards from people that acknowledge movies the Academy Awards often ignore, especially horror films or comedies. And most viewers don’t go gaga over biopics the way the Oscars do. Because, seriously, they
always nominate biopics — also, how can there be more biopics coming out every year? Haven’t we done a film on every famous biographical subject by now? I mean, last year we had a biopic on the guy who claimed he invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos; are we going to start doing biopics on memes next? (Coming to Netflix this fall: Bradley Cooper writes, directs and stars in his next masterpiece, “Peanut Butter Baby: The Movie.”)
But what’s that you say? Making your own awards won’t work because you don’t have the starry celebrities and solid gold statues that the Academy Awards has? First off, how dare you question me? Secondly, the majority of those celebrities you saw at this year’s ceremony will be has-beens 20 years from now. You can probably go on Cameo and hire a 1995 Best Supporting Actress nominee to read out the winners of your awards. I mean, Gary Busey, who was nominated for an Oscar back in 1979, will probably pay YOU to be able to show up to your ceremony.
And as for you lacking any of those fancy solid gold statues, take that participation trophy you received when you were 7 after you threw up on the balance beam during a gymnastics tournament and hand that out instead. Celebrities will take anything you give them; they just want the attention and to give a speech. I’m sure Jennifer Lawrence would be honored to take
my old D.A.R.E. medal and put it on her mantlepiece.
I know that, in a perfect world, the Oscars should matter. And it’d be lovely to think that they do, and that when a film wins an Academy Award, it actually deserved it. But films are also so subjective, and movies that you love may not be the Oscars’ cup of tea.
And therein lies the rub: What gives the Oscars the right to say that a movie I loved and have seen a dozen times isn’t worthy of any gold trophies? Does the Academy Awards not nominating such a film for anything negate what it means to me or suddenly make it unworthy of my love? Not at all. So what I’d say to those who were upset over “Barbie” not getting more nominations at the Oscars this year: Don’t forget what that film meant to you, no matter how many nominations or wins it got. Honor it yourself.
Because there’s also something I’ve noticed over the years: Most people’s favorite movie of all time is not a Best Picture winner. Do you know anyone who says 1990’s winner, “Dances with Wolves,” is their favorite movie ever? Unless you’re friends with Kevin Costner, then I’m going to say no.
