Field Guide episode 29: Karan Bajaj on Writer's Block and Travel
I used to do bonus episodes of the show somewhat regularly
called "Field Guides" where I'd talk to people about the actual
steps they took to create a project or about a specific topic
around the theme of creating things for a living. Like, I talked to
Abbi and Ilana about how they actually made the Broad City
webseries (back before it was even a TV show!) - and the idea is to
try and demystify making TV, videos and other creative things on a
professional level. Today on the show I talk to Indian American
author Karan Bajaj about
how he overcomes writer's block through world travel. Karan is the
author of three contemporary Indian novels, Keep Off the Grass (a
semi-finalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award), Johnny Gone
Down, and The Seeker, and a super-interesting guy. And we talk
about everything from growing up in a small, remote village in
India to what it was like to live on an ashram and meditate all
day.
