Top quotes from this episode
“Everybody has a book title in them and we’re going to put everybody on the path of becoming authors.”
“I have an idea of where I want the story to go, but how the characters interact, how they talk, the adventures and trials and tribulations they go through, develop as the story goes along.”
“When I'm at my best, the writing just flows, and I'm just typing away and I'm giggling or crying, as the case may be, and enjoying the hell out of it.”
“The days that it doesn't flow like a waterfall is where it takes some work ethic and some discipline, and you have to get the story on the page no matter how bad you think it is, and then find your muse and find the spark in it in the editing process.”
Together, Chris and Kelly discuss:
- How writing can be therapeutic
- Kelly’s latest short stories, “They call me Tully”, “Cecil the Combat Wombat,” and “The battle of Waffle Haus 814”
- Chris’ top 10 tips for success in “Ultimate leadership”
- Writing process: how Kelly gets through the tough days and Chris’s unique approach, that isn’t writing at all
