Ep414 - Cole Schafer, All-Around Writer + Creator ‘Honey Copy’

“That’s the moment I realized how powerful words can be,” writer Cole Schafer told me. Cole lives by the phrase “Live fast, write often.” As such, he’s somewhat of an all-around writer, with multiple focuses, such as a blog, books, poetry, copy, and spoken word. In this interview, we talk about concrete imagery in Cole’s work, thinking in metaphors, why he recommends specializing but doesn’t do it, being inspired by Shel Silverstein, using the pen name January Black, the difference in craft writing and inspired writing and why you need to let the tigers through the door. In this interview, we also talk about Drew Birnie. You can listen to my call with Drew in Episode 390: https://on.soundcloud.com/L3EKJ Want more?
