Episode 73: James Foley

The Written Scene

What do you get when you cross sea turtles and early retirement? For author James Foley, it was the inspiration and chance to finally be the author he always wanted to be.

In this episode of The Written Scene, James discusses writing books you also would want to read, getting started as a reader with biographies, having a successful career in business while dreaming of writing, the needed tenacity to be a writer, why writing isn't a solitary gig, how his business background helped him feel confident about what his goals are with a story, getting bored with your characters, whether or not to write down the middle of the night thoughts, making the decision to retire early, the impact a good story can have, and much more.
