I’ve gone through the first four episodes, and my favorite so far has been the one on writing processes, in part because it feels relatable. I enjoyed talk of writing sometimes being like a puzzle you have to painstakingly solve, and the notion of holding out as long as possible before committing to ideas on paper as a way to prevent over-attachment and an unwillingness to iterate and improve.
