Jesi is an industrious and wily old soul that I've enjoyed following over the years. It should also be noted that she brought her knitting supplies, a notebook, and an enormous Pepsi to the show.  Follow for more goodness/weirdness Insta: @taylorchurch44 @ofstoneandclaypodcastWanna watch this episode on YouTube?- youtube.com/taylorchurchTwitter: @taylorchurch44Facebook: Taylor Stephen Church

My first live episode ever! I simply answered questions people asked on my Instagram (@taylorchurch44 and @ofstoneandclaypodcast) story. Admittedly I shouldn't have gone live at nearly 1 a.m., but I promised I would go live in case people missed their opportunity to ask me something. A lot of questions were about my writing, my future ambitions, and my process. I talked about my thoughts on writing poetry, screenplays, and songs. Someone asked about my worst hotel experience ever, someone asked about my dreams, and someone even asked about how much I think about death and how I think I might go. Some really deep and provocative questions. Can't wait till the next Q&A!
