Do you dream about taking adventures and writing about them? It's not a dream for writer Anthony Dalton, but it isn't all smooth sailing, either!
kc dyer talks to Anthony Dalton about how he was blind-sided when he was researching his biography of Tristan Jones, arguably the most success nautical author of the 20th century and whose work Dalton was a fan. Dalton said, "I had no idea until the first year of research was over. I was in New York when I discovered that I was writing the wrong book." He also talks about his writing process and gives us a trick that gets him past writer's block.

I just finished listening to all the podcasts. As a first time Surrey attendee I found it a great way to connect faces and voices to all the wonderful workshops being offered. KC, you've succeeded. I'll just have to resort to eenie meenie minie mo in order to chose which to attend.
Tony. You're an inspiration to keep plugging away.
I'd never realized what being busy was all about until hearing this interview. And I can attest, Anthony always makes time to encourage and help other would-be writers. Thanks Tony and thanks Karen.
