In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and I are talking with Edgerton award winning playwright, musician, and writer Jack Canfora.
Talking with Jack is like attending a master class on creativity. In fact, our conversation with Jack is so rich with both writing practices and nuggets about authors and artists that we split it into two episodes.
In the first episode of this series that aired last week, we talked about writing practices Jack uses when in a lull and about creative attention.
In this second episode, we delve into the balance of sentences. Jack, trained as a Shakespearean actor, even recites a few lines of Hamlet for us (see the video snippet below).
We talk about the responsibility of writers to their audience, whomever that may be, when they hit the publish button. And the confidence required to keep doing our best and putting things out there.
Jack holds that there are no writing rules – but there are some guidelines. He shares some of his, along with ideas for training as a writer.
We love talking with the brilliant and funny Jack Canfora and leave each conversation a little bit smarter, much more inspired to hone the craft of writing, and in awe of a master creator. We know you’ll love this episode!
