Look who’s back? It’s Sonya Huber!

What a treat!

She the author of the memoir Supremely Tiny Acts: A Memoir of a Day (Mad Creek Books) and it’s one of the best experiences I had reading a book in 2021.

In this episode we talk about:

  • Tangents
  • Being weird
  • Bad writing
  • Profanity
  • And is Sonya the Weird Al of creative writing?

She also talks about an essay she wrote for LitHub about other books that take place in a day. Check it out.

Great stuff I hope you’ll enjoy.
