[@EssenceMcDowell]

I started tearing up on parts of this interview. Ah-mazing!! These two are my teachers and mentors from afar. I'll get some writing in today because of this interview!

Heavy floored me. I'm obsessed with Laymon's writing. Gotta read Perry now!

What were the books that they were recommending that they talked about briefly? It was hard to hear. Thanks in advance.
