[Jinwoo Park, inner stuff]: Building your tolerance for sharing imperfect work Ep 1210

Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

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
