For author Wes Blake, a former West Jessamine High School English teacher, writing about his obsessions helped him find his subject matter.

"When you write about what obsesses you," he says, "it guides you towards things that are important to you, maybe in some way that you don't fully understand."

On episode 44, Wes shares how he channeled his obsessions into his book, Pineville Trace. Learn to recognize and write about your own obsessions with help from his favorite writing prompt.
