It’s almost Christmas. You don’t need writing advice. What you need is a poem. @AndrewTRoycroft's poem caught my eye a couple of weeks ago: youtu.be/nXzylsHDMOM
Recently, Randall Goodgame and I discussed the essential role of collaboration, the importance of writing out of freedom and not out of condemnation, and the irrepressibility of childlike joy. Listen here: #freedom #joy #writinglife

In this week’s podcast, I talk with @Tsh Oxenreider. We discuss the challenging art of graceful endings, the perils of absolute accessibility, and what sets the Advent season apart from merely a “happy clappy countdown to Christmas.”

I loved having this conversation with @JonathanHRogers. Kicking myself for not bringing up feechies, though.
This week, Jonathan Rogers talks with Scott James about the practical complexity of applying wisdom, the role of empathy in good reading, the instructive power of story for life’s moral questions, and grace as God’s surprise ending: is.gd/WeJsn9
On The Habit Podcast this week: Mark Meynell (aka @Quaerentia) on civility and the importance of telling the truth, not just winning arguments. This is a good one. omny.fm/shows/the-habit-podc…
When Flannery O’Connor died, she left behind an unfinished manuscript of a third novel. Jessica @HootenWilson is preparing that manuscript for publication. In this week’s episode of The Habit, we discuss FOC’s writing habits, among other things. https://teapaw.org/t.co/6Igq8f6GlI
