Writer and editor Ron Hogan<\/a> checks in from Queens (near Elmhurst Hospital). We talk about why you don’t need to write King Lear<\/em> while in quarantine (or finish War & Peace<\/em>, although he’s hoping to do that), how to handle bad writing days regardless of whether there’s a pandemic on, keeping up with his writing-development e-mail, Destroy Your Safe and Happy Lives<\/a>, and a key lesson from Thomas Merton to find the core of one’s writing. We also get into how he officially joined a Quaker meeting via Zoom, his binge of season 3 of Castlevania<\/a>, his deep-dive into the Psalms, having Korean baseball games as occasional TV-wallpaper, enjoying The Anarchist’s Tool Chest<\/a> (as part of his goal of minimizing his engagement with capital), and more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go subscribe to Destroy Your Safe and Happy Lives<\/a>!<\/p>\n
