This episode was inspired by Bob Odenkirk’s memoir, “Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama.” I love a good memoir, particularly those of creative people, but I always view them as a nice glimpse into a life and a particular person’s process, NOT as a blueprint for my own life. Nor should you. Yes, you can try the same things, but no book contains the plans for a successful creative life. Just keep on plugging away—that’s about the only lesson. Let’s talk about it.
This is an audio reading of the post "Books are not Blueprints” originally published on April 11, 2022. Additional creative inspirations can be found at that link.
