Episode 42: Judy Reeves

When people talk about the San Diego writing community, the name Judy Reeves typically follows. In this episode of The Written Scene, author, teacher, and community creator Judy Reeves talks about how she was part of the reason San Diego's writing community thrives now, that books don't need to be written in chronological order, why a writer-reader connection is important, how showing up at the page is important whether something was written or not, the feeling of knowing what you're meant to do in life, performing for crowds and how to get inside the words, how not just writing but any art will someday save us all, and so much more.  Be sure to get Judy's new book WHEN YOUR HEART SAYS GO at your favorite local bookstore not named Amazon.
