Bumbling Toward The Bookshelf: How Failing Kindergarten, Dressing Up Like A Big Red Dog, And Running Away To L.A. All Led Me To The Literary Life

Ray Bradbury famously remarked that writers must “Jump off the cliff and build [their] wings on the way down.”  For the past three decades, author B.J. Hollars has done just that, leaping from one metaphorical cliff to another in search of the literary life.  Through it all, every setback and minor success ultimately led him to where he needed to be: within listening distance of the next big story.  Join Hollars for a candid conversation on unearthing your stories wherever you find them, or wherever they find you.
