Ep 379: Joe R. Lansdale

PUBLIC VERSION. Award winning author Joe R. Lansdale (BUBBA HO-TEP, HAP AND LEONARD, BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES) virtually joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen for one of the very best MOVIE CRYPT episodes of 2020. From the legendary author's writing process ("I write like everyone I know is dead")… to his creative discipline ("I write for 3 hours a day and feel accomplished 99% of the time")… to where he finds inspiration ("Don't sit around waiting for the muse… YOU are the muse")… to how he chooses the stories he writes, how he keeps writing fun despite it being his job, and how he has managed to remain "a positive realist" after almost 70 years of life on this planet… this is one of the most honest and inspirational conversations about the writing process that you'll ever hear. Dr. Arwen provides emotional support for a listener with one question in three parts, everyone picks the cinematic worlds that they would most love to live in, and the guys give a sobering (but positive) update on the state of YORKIETHON 5 in this writing masterclass with one of the most beloved storytellers working today. In fact, if by the end of this episode you're not rolling up your sleeves and preparing to attack that great story brewing up inside of you… you must have not been listening.
