Really interesting interview! I was especially intrigued by David's response about how activities that require spending time alone to practice, and which require self-motivation and self-discipline, can also make one a more effective writer. I had never thought of it this way, but I think this is a great insight. People seldom think of that kind of solitary self-motivation and discipline as a special skillset, but it absolutely is.

Fantastic interview questions, Winston! This was great 🔥🔥🔥 Your question about what world of his creation would David prefer to live is one I'm going to keep in my back pocket.

Very nice interview Winston. There’s a lot of information in there that can really help a writer wherever they are in their journey. I have always wondered why writers gave their art away, now I realize that it’s to get readers onboard with your style and get them to come back for more. I’m eager to check out David’s music too so thanks for sharing.

Brilliant interview. The question about how fiction changes how you see the world was a highlight and David's answer is spot on. I have tried to explain this but people seem quite set in seeing 'fiction' as a completely distinct entity that has no bearing on anything else which is utter nonsense. Everything you see, read, or hear is a story whether based in fact or fiction, it has been crafted for a purpose whether that is to promote a message, distort facts, or highlight a specific thing, etc.
