MOST LOVED QUOTES FROM EPISODE:
"Writing a book is purposefully isolating, very complex, and it takes a long time... and I am not that patient. But I want to be and it's worth learning that skill."

"I don't want to pressure a single person to change their life in the midst of a pandemic, I don't expect that at all. But for me I needed some marker of time. I am proud of myself that I will be able to look back and say 'So what did you do when you were stuck at home for a year?' I wrote a book."
