Go Write Yourself

Here I talk about critical thinking, self-critique, and the importance of creating an ethical argument.

We talk about Richard Brody (film critic for the New Yorker) and article defending the traditional review, as well as my personal experience working for a clickbait publisher.

Today we'll talk about editing as I try and fail to correct some of my own mistakes.

On this episode we take a look at Truth with a big T, examining Chuck Palahniuk's teach Tom Spanbauer talking about Dangerous Writing, Ursula K. Le Guin's essays in "Language of the Night", and Herzog's transcribed speech "On the Absolute, the Sublime, and on the Ecstatic Truth".

Writing can be a lonely hobby. Come join me in looking at some of the most depressing media for a lonely writer to absorb! Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" and Paul Schrader's experience writing "Taxi Driver".
