Some of our fierce topics today:

[00:07:11] Writers often struggle with giving up control of their work to others.

[00:09:47] An email was sent asking to join the novel critique group with a memoir, and it was agreed that it was fine. The chapter shared was so gripping that it was hard to believe it was nonfiction.

[00:23:40] learned the most about writing and interviewing from Kristin’s high school journalism teacher, Susan Massey.

[00:25:21] People not from the Midwest often assume that everyone there knows each other, but it’s actually a big place.

[00:25:35] Kansas City has a small-town feel where it seems like everyone knows everyone.

About Kristin Caruso:

Kristin Caruso co-hosts An Old Timey Podcast. The show allows Kristin to justify her late-night deep dives into art heists, royal drama and old timey mysteries. She is a writer, a mutt enthusiast, and is only occasionally inappropriate.
