    BOOK REVIEW: On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft and intro to Kansas City’s first Poet Laureate

    In this episode, we dive into Stephen King's memoir On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. I chose to review this book now because we’re featuring an interview with Kansas City’s first Poet Laureate, and it also marks one year since the release of my debut book. I thought it would be fitting to explore something more educational in celebration of this milestone. The book offers valuable insights on the writing process, creativity, and the discipline needed to become a successful author.
