In this second part of my interview with Jinwoo Park, author of the soon to be released “Oxford Soju Club,” an award-winning thriller, we talk about the interior side of building a life as a writer.

We discussed:
- How sharing social media content helps him be a better writer
- Staying open to feedback
- Appreciating the one- and two-star reviews
- The hard-won realization that publishing a book isn’t an ending, but a beginning
- The practical and emotional ways to embrace identifying as a writer
- Building a community of writers
- Valuing his time as a writer (SUCH a great bit of wisdom here)
- Why there is no right time to pursue the thing that’s calling to you
- How he keeps consistent writing momentum as a person with ADHD
