One Line: For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents.

🎙️ Episode 68: What author or book has made you a more resilient writer?
In this episode, we crack open the covers of the stories that saved us, shaped us, and shoved us back to the page when we wanted to quit. Gail and Jay swap notes on the writers who lit a path when the writing life felt like walking blindfolded through a thunderstorm—with a leaky umbrella.
We talk about the books that built our resilience and the lines that felt like lifelines. Because even though reading and writing are solitary acts, the writer and reader need each other. It’s a quiet kind of companionship—but it’s real, and it’s what keeps us going. If you've ever been carried by a sentence, this one's for you.
Gail Boenning wanders, wonders, writes, and wields a paint brush. She finds joy in elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary.
