In this new episode of Writing Walks I pay a visit to my favorite regional park on the planet: Armstrong Redwoods State Park. I also talk about what it's like going through tough life events and writing about them and becoming a better writer from them, as well as discussing the timeless adage of writing advice: write what you know. I end with a recommendation for Victor Lavalle's book "The Changeling."
