I Write to Keep From Getting Robbed

You need to know why you write. One of the things I've learned from a year of interviews is that authors write for very different reasons. What matters is knowing why you do.

Show Notes:42. Chase Replogle — I Write to Keep From Getting Robbed

There is a famous line from Flannery O’Connor: “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.”

It’s often quoted by other writers for why they write. I don’t think that is a question we take seriously enough. Why do you write? You need to figure out an answer to that question. And surprisingly, great authors often give very different answers.

In this episode, I explore coming to terms with my own reason for writing. I hope it helps you find yours.

  • Link in bio. Got some big news. The 5 Masculine Instincts Study Guide is now available in print. If you're looking for a resource for a men's group, Father's Day, or retreat, I think it would work great. There is a video series, YouVersion plans, and an assessment.
  • Soundcheck for the recital. They nailed it. They continue to impress me with their talent, and most importantly, their work ethic.
  • Boat is clean and ready for the season.
  • Hard to believe this girl has graduated from kindergarten. Class of 2035…
  • First ever game of kid pitch baseball. Going to be a fun season.
  • Another great week in Holland Michigan at the Eugene Peterson Center. I’m learning a lot and forming so many friendships with amazing writers and people. Can’t wait to read all the work that will come out of these years… and fun to see a familiar cover at the Baker Book House in Grand Rapids.
  • Can’t think of a better way to have spent my birthday morning. Will‘s first turkey hunt. He did great. The bird came in gobbling and strutting. Doesn’t get much better.
  • Someone gave Charlotte a bag of googly eyes. She has been glueing them on everything she can turn into a face.

Can’t think of a better way to have spent my birthday morning. Will‘s first turkey hunt. He did great. The bird came in gobbling and strutting. Doesn’t get much better.
