Great show - and inspiring.

I've been struggling to overcome the mountain of research I've been accumulating over the last years and actually put pen to paper for my dissertation. Two things Mike Sacks said that got me out of my funk and 10 new pages last night: Writers have to write constantly and people write to create a world in which the writer is in control. He was describing why so many people with OCD are writers, but the lesson I took from it was that I could take control of my research. I feel just enough freed from anxiety that I'm actually producing after all of this time only able to compile.

The episode was funny as hell. When I come up for air, I'm getting Mike's books. Great guest. I hope they can find an excuse to have him on again soon :-)

Once again - Keith and Chemda are serious pros at this. You guys are the best.
