I sat down with Ben Tanzer for the new episode of his podcast, This Podcast Will Change Your Life, and we got into the parts of my story I don't usually tell. How WritingWorkshops.com started in the basement of a Methodist church in Dallas. The two novels I keep in a drawer. The two books my father handed me, one about hope and one about courage, when I first told him I wanted to write.
Ben is a generous interviewer, and he asked the questions that took me somewhere honest. We talked about failing in public, showing up for the unglamorous work, and why community has mattered more to my writing life than any single success.
If you've got some time, I'd love for you to listen. Here's the episode.
