“A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them. That is, he does not draw on a reservoir; instead, he engages in an activity that brings to him a whole succession of unforeseen stories, poems, essays, plays, laws, philosophies, religions . . .”

I’ll bet it’s because that character was relatable, fallible, vulnerable, and perhaps even nearly dead at some point.

This podcast is for people struggling to write creatively. Learning to write well is learning a new skill that looks deceptively too easy and it really messes people up. It doesn't have to always be that way.
Writing prompt: It was a dark and stormy night. But what does that mean to you?
