Episode 99: Taylor Garcia

When it comes to writing, to author Taylor Garcia it's more than just a thing we do. It's a career, albeit just a really enjoyable one. In this episode of The Written Scene, Taylor discusses the potential reasons why men are reading less fiction, growing up in a matriarchal family environment, having a healthy dose of life for storytelling purposes, a cruel suggestion from a grad school professor, seeing the world as a story, working non-creative jobs, finding a love of editing and feedback, ironic redemption for a character, letting ideas marinate for a long time before writing, bringing things together in a story that don't typically belong together, handling multiple writing projects at the same time, the pedestrian Bud Light nature of stories and shows, writing whenever and wherever you can, and so much more. Make sure to get your copy of Taylor's book, "Animal Husbandry," which you can find at my favorite bookstore in town, The Book Catapult.  Please be sure to subscribe, rate, review, and share this and all episodes of The Written Scene.
