Every creative work you’ve ever loved has a hero’s journey behind it. On Spark & Fire, you'll hear creators tell the story of bringing one beloved work to life. Iconic creatives — like Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz, Pixar director Domee Shi, comedian Patton Oswald, musician Wynton Marsalis, and novelist Isabel Allende — share the endless iterations, the inevitable setbacks, and the breakthrough ideas along the epic process of creation. But this isn’t an interview show. It’s a story — told ...

Let me just start off by saying that after transcribing writer Sean Ennis' interview (Yeah, I'm back on that again!), I've decided that he's the most conscious self-editor I've interviewed this year. As soon as the words leave his mouth, he’s already assessed whether it’s actually what he means, whether it’s “a dumb pun” or “too dramatic.” He often doesn’t retract what he says, just adds a disclaimer and keeps going. Somehow, the listener sees actually what he meant initially and what he means now. The result? An interview that is thoughtful, humble, and personable. Sean's short story collection, Chase Us, fuels our discussion as we meander through the a narrative that is both engaging and mysterious. In this episode, you'll find out: - How the people you surround yourself with can help or impede your writing journey - What one detail can do for an entire story - What's Sponge Bob Got To Do With It - The best writing advice Sean ever got - The rhetorical move that made Sean “wiggle in his seat” when he wrote it - The "Tom and Jerry Pitch" that landed his agent RENÉE ZUCKERBROT The “pleasures of a good short story?” BONUS: This is the first episode that the guest insults me! Listen to find out how. Then, learn something about writing. After, go write.
