A Writer’s Book List

In this episode, we’re diving into the one book that humbled me, haunted me, and ultimately became my first (and only!) DNF: IT by Stephen King.
Grab a coffee, tea, or hot cocoa and settle in as I unpack:
 • Why I thought reading a thousand-page clown horror novel was a good idea
 • How Stephen King’s writing style both impressed me and personally attacked me
 • The surprisingly heartfelt themes hidden beneath the terror
 • And why it’s totally okay to put down a book that overwhelms you — especially when you have a massive fear of clowns
With a cozy intro, a creepy cold open, a fake ad break, and enough clown-phobia commentary to last a lifetime, this episode is equal parts spooky, funny, and deeply relatable.
Whether you’ve read IT, DNF’d it, or wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole… this is one wild ride through the book that almost ruined me.
Tune in, laugh with me, and as always: happy reading and happy writing.
