I recently read a collection of personal essays by my guest today, the Irish Times journalist Patrick Freyne. It’s called OK, Let’s Do Your Stupid Idea.
In the book, Patrick reflects on the jobs he’s had, his time in a band, and a friend who unexpectedly passed away. He didn’t necessarily set out to write a book, but one of his personal essays gained traction with a popular writing publication in Ireland.
I had the chance to catch up with Patrick and ask him about his writing process and how he put together a collection of personal essays.
I started by asking Patrick all about this book, OK, Let’s Do Your Stupid Idea.
