I was goofing around and doing all kinds of things. But I was always writing. And I was always really sure and clear and serious about my writing. My ambition was this secret thing within me that I dedicated myself to.\u201d\n\nThanks to Mailchimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@CherylStrayed\ncherylstrayed.com\nLongform Podcast #144: Cheryl Strayed\nStrayed on Longform\n[07:12] Sugar Calling\n[23:21] Transparent\nLearn more about your ad choices.
