About this episode

Seth Singleton joins Mike Burton to explore the motivations behind writing and the challenges of failure.

Author & podcaster Seth Singleton joins Mike to dive deep into the question; why do we write? Video version here: https://youtu.be/vuWAZK6iypY Although Seth & Mike have many mutual friends, this is their first podcast together! In more detail; Seth & Mike talk about getting in one’s own way and “the cost of failure”, tying into how introspection helped Seth get through certain failures, before talking about what started Seth on his writing journey and why he continues to write. The duo discuss Seth’s contributions to Comics Lit and Anachronistic Comics and many projects Seth writes, or has written for, including writing comics for kids such as Hapsie or Spellcasters, and so much more – this is an incredibly introspective, yet inspiring, conversation that’s perfect for any level of writer or people who want to be motivated to create more!
