On this episode of Cutting Chai Stories with Jayati Vora, we have a very special guest. Tammy Kim is a magazine reporter, a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times, and a retired social justice lawyer. In our conversation, Tammy shares her top creative writing tips, where she looks for inspiration, and a writing prompt for you. As always, if you feel inspired to write a short story under 100 words, do send it to me at cuttingchaistories AT gmail DOT com.
