“I’d like to write but what would I write about? I’m not an authority on anything.” Show host and writing coach, Dr. Tim Morrison, often hears these words from people who hunger to write but hesitate to pick up a pen or sit down to the keyboard. Tim’s reply? “We each are authorities on how we view and experience life and work and the world. Write about that.” Today’s guests take that concept seriously.
