Inspiration Takeover: Let the Ideas Carry You with Andrew Bertaina

Published: June 17, 2024, 9 a.m.

Andrew Bertaina, author of \u201cOne Person Away From You\u201d and the new essay collection \u201cThe Body is a Temporary Gathering Place,\u201d suggests inspiration comes from reading. Andrew takes us through a writing prompt that leads him to fictionalize a meeting with his late grandfather in the afterlife. Try negotiating the speculative realm in your own writing, and if you\u2019re stuck, you know what to do: pick up a book and find a line that reminds you why you started writing in the first place.
