On Episode 32 of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast I spoke with novelist, essayist, and writing teacher William Kenower. In a wide-ranging and inspiring discussion, we explored:
- how writers can work through procrastination and the inner critic;
- the difference between being critical and being discriminating;
- why writers need to trust their curiosity;
- the difference between being courageous and being fearless;
- raising a son who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum and his work at No One is Broken;
- how new models of publishing are freeing writers to write what they really want;
- his latest book, Write Within Yourself: An Author’s Companion.
Plus, on Today in Writing: happy birthday to John Updike.
