216. Greg Rucka on writing, hope and accountability

It’s the first new episode of 2021! Naturally, I’m kicking off the season with the one and only Greg Rucka. He shares his methods for writing during a time of chaos. Despite the chaos in the United States, we were able to find some bright spots to discuss like the inauguration, hope for the Senate, impeachment, and Ted Lasso. Greg shares his process for writing through the mixture of emotions and upcoming projects such as: Lazarus, Black Magick and The Old Guard. After the holiday break, it was great to chat with Greg again and I look forward to our future chats will be a bit more sporadic due to scheduling, but stay tuned for more of The Mimi & Greg Show! Spoiler Alerts: Ted Lasso, Mission Impossible Rogue Nation For those that don’t already know: Greg Rucka is a New York Times bestselling author of hundreds of comics and nearly two dozen novels. He is also the writer for the hit film The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron. I’m loving these conversations and hope you are too.
