What happens when you combine a Master's degree in English, an affinity for fantasy, and a deep-seated appreciation for wrestling? The fascinating journey of my guest, Jeffrey Seitz, unfolds. Jeffrey's love for literature was sparked by Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, a unique mix of fantasy, science, and religion. His passion for this genre led him to a life-long commitment to writing and an unbroken bond with the world of fantasy. Tune in to discover how a childhood fascination turned into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling.
The journey of becoming a writer is not a solitary one. Jeffrey and I delve into the significance of mentorship, community support, and self-investment in the writing process. We unmask the delicate line that separates a writer from an author and how writing can reveal our true selves. Jeffrey talks candidly about his experience working on a fantasy novel he started during his teenage years and the challenges of creating a believable fantasy world. Is there a secret recipe to juggling multiple projects? Jeffrey shares his insights.
The world of professional wrestling, surprisingly, has a lot to offer when it comes to networking and personal development. I share my experiences and passion for wrestling, from attending my first WWE show to meeting my favorite wrestler. Jeffrey also highlights how networking through wrestling events helped him connect with like-minded individuals and expand his horizons. So, are you ready to embark on a journey through literature, wrestling, and personal growth with us?
