Librarian Natalie McCall talks with Grant Faulkner, Executive Director of National Novel Writing Month and co-founder of 100 Word Story. He has two books on writing: Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Prompts to Boost Your Creative Mojo and Brave the Page, a writing guide for teens. In November 2019, Faulkner gave a talk at the Mill Valley Public Library about the creative benefits of trying to write 50,000 words of a novel in a month. Find his podcast, Write-minded: Weekly Inspiration for Writers on your favorite podcasty app.

The Librarian and the Director talk about the appeal of the homesteading life, a book that’s all about walking through the city, and writing for the joy, not the publication, of it.
