Jack Grapes and Method Writing

Many years ago I was at Patricia Arquette’s house and I was talking to a woman who was to enthralled with a writing teacher named Jack Grapes. Although I didn’t have the time or money to enroll in his classes, at the time, I signed up for his newsletter and a when I see the emails, I am reminded that I want to take a class from him some day. Well I did the next best thing, I got him to be a guest on my show. What an incredible man he is. He is the embodiment of what artists should be. He is committed, limitless, humorous and having fun. His process is called Method Writing, which harkens back to Method Acting. I look forward to reading his books and delving into what this all means. For now, here is the episode. Maybe I’ll see you in one of his classes.

Living in the Now with Nathan Cook

I really enjoyed this conversation with Nathan Cook of Jacksonville Florida. He had a near death experience on a motorized skateboard and was thrust into the present moment. He’s been living there ever since and he wants to take us on that journey with him.
