Next Episode: S5E12 - Chatting With Kate Fox

On this episode I chat about finding your north star when you're making creative stuff. Why write? Why make books? Where do you find validation & meaning in an uncertain & unpredictable world? & are seatbelt laws a good thing or an unconscionable assault on personal liberty?

This is a writing ramble episode, which means I talk discursively about where I'm at this week & try to transmute that into some actionable lessons. Hope it helps.
