Description

How do you write action that feels real without losing your voice as a storyteller? In this episode, author T.R. Hendricks joins me to talk about The Instructor, a military thriller shaped by his experience in the army. We discuss how real-world training translates to believable fiction, the discipline it takes to finish a manuscript, and how sixty rejections became part of his journey to publication. For writers chasing authenticity and perseverance in their craft, this episode is a masterclass in turning experience into story. T.R.
