Archive Dive: Courtin’ Country Style

Voice Mail Episode #231: Illustration from the first full-length magazine piece I ever sold, an essay about dating in the country. I discuss how it all came to be, how I started learning lessons about how the freelance life was gonna be in reality, and above all, how thrilled I was when the editor called. I also reflect on how my writing style—and my self—has changed or not changed over the decades and how I feel about that. And then I read the piece aloud (including a few asides on the fly).

Episode is available to paid subscribers only, but if you’d like to give it a listen, please email [email protected] and we will get you a couple free weeks on us.
