Fernando A. Flores is a writer based in Austin, TX. His books include the collection "Death to the Bullshit Artists of South Texas", the novel "Tears of the Trufflepig", and his upcoming book is "Valleyesque". In this episode, Fernando and I talked all about the ups and downs of the creative life, on living between cultures, the difference between writing vs. publishing, and the question Fernando asks that I’d like to put on a t-shirt: “Is this good for my creative brain?”
