Ana Marie Cox on Writing Your Recovery Story

Writer, blogger, podcaster, pundit, and reporter Ana Marie Cox
joins her good friend John Moe for a conversation about writing.
Ana teaches what she calls Third Story Workshops that are
dedicated to helping people get their stories out of their minds
and onto the page. She says you can look at your story in three
parts: what it was like before, what happened, and what you are
like now. It’s that third bit that she really concentrates on
with students. John, who published a memoir in 2020, shares his
thoughts about the self-discovery that can take place through the
act of writing about your own experiences.
