A new article on Cormac McCarthy just DROPPED, exploring his 20,000-book collection and talking about some of his odd idiosyncratic behaviors.

This video breaks all of that down, but more importantly, it is a motivational video for all my writers out there to PIVOT, away from the old mindset that drove people like McCarthy and toward the literary renaissance.

I cannot advocate or imagine that anyone out there can take it further than McCarthy in terms of dedication, trauma, talent, and sheer good luck.

So why try to win a rigged game? In this video, I explain a new path and talk about my favorite dude, CORMAC MCCARTHY!
