As a professional writer, I started an episode during a walk and instantly devoured the rest of the episodes. Every guest on Living to Write has something real to say about the actual work, not just the mythology of it. I like hearing genuine conversations like these and not ones that feel scripted. It makes it feel more real. I like podcasts that makes you want to go write something. This is one of them.
If you’re into screenwriting at any level, Living To Write is honestly a must-listen. It’s got real, unfiltered industry conversations, super insightful, and the behind-the-scenes stories of how some of your favourite movies actually came together are so cool.
Wonderful conversations about the art and science of writing with genuine curiosity and appreciation. My only complaint is that there are not dozens more episodes for me to devour.
