John King is the host of The Drunken Odyssey with John King: A Podcast About the Writing Life, in which he's interviewed over 350 writers including David Sedaris and Jonathan Letham. King is also the author of Guy Psycho and the Ziggurat of Shame, the story of an alcoholic lounge singer who must re-enact the epic of Gilgamesh inside a mountain in Tennessee. We talk about how much to write each day, where ideas come from, and how to get unstuck, among many other topics.
