In this monologue, the speaker reflects on how attending the Lightning in a Bottle festival five years ago sparked a major personal transformation, leading to an intensive writing burst of 5,000 words in a single day. After sharing the draft with friends for feedback, the speaker plans to attend a memoir-focused writer's workshop with Liz Weil and Dan Duante, two admired memoirists, to further develop the forthcoming book. Concurrently, the speaker announces a shift in the cadence and guest strategy for the "Seed to Harvest" podcast: episodes will be recorded only when the host feels inspired and with guests they have deep context and admiration for, with releases slated for Mondays but not on a strict weekly schedule. Listeners are invited to express interest in being featured.

Chapters

But I was just thinking about all of this and how much my life has changed since I went to Lightning in a Bottle 5 years ago. And I started writing about it, and then I ended up writing like 5,000 words in a day. And then I sent it to a bunch of my friends and I was like getting feedback and I'm adding to it. And by the time this comes out, I will have gone to a writer's workshop with Liz Weil and Dan Duante, who are 2 of my favorite memoir writers. And so I'll be working on my next book. And so I'm gonna be changing the cadence of Seed to Harvest. I'm gonna be doing episodes when I want to and with the people that I would really like to have on the show. So if you're interested, please let me know. I'm gonna just start being more selective about the episodes. I wanna record them with people who I have like deep context for, deep admiration for, and I'll be publishing them on Mondays, but probably not every Monday.
