vid001: Marinating with Joan Didion and Telaina Eriksen

August 11, 2013 by yuvi

In this video, I fixate on two cool topics that came up during my conversation with Telaina Eriksen:

  1. Writing in the moment vs. letting things marinate
  2. Putting your thoughts within the context of a particular scene

I take an under-educated stance on why Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking worked so well.

I also find a way to stick my kid’s precious stuffed animal (Shaggy the Jaguar) into the video.
