I loved listening to this podcast! Jamie, you have such an incredible family. Jason has given me a lot to think about. There is so much I could say here. For now, thank you, Jason, for your thoughts and wisdom! This was good stuff. Really good. :)
You have the coolest siblings, Jamie! I really enjoyed listening in. Thanks Jamie and Jason!
Oh this is so wonderful! I got to hang out with the both of you, that is so cool. Great podcasts and loved hearing Jason talk about his creative journey which has definitely been a challenging one. Oh how I loved his punk phase but I can totally see how that immediate rejection would be brutal. Writing does offer a little more padding in that way.
I don’t think there is a writer out there more dedicated to his craft than Jason. He is amazing!
Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this podcast so much that I’m going to listen to it again — right now! So many excellent points, especially the idea that no one controls my creative life but ME! That really hit home. Thanks Jason! Thanks Jamie!
Thanks Jamie and Jason. I have to keep this short as I’m sitting down to write! Thanks also to my sister, Cindy, for forwarding me the link.
