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.

Yeah very true. That is the best advice for writing. Just keep at it. It's funny how that advice is so simple and yet it can still be a challenge to do. Is this the first time that a writer wasn't awkward on KATG? The two that I remember didn't fare so well.
I really enjoyed Mike Sacks on the show. I'm going to check out his stuff as well. Hope it's available for Kindle
