    Dec 19 2025
    Wendy Dale on Dodging Bombs, Guerrilla Soldiers, and Writing Memoirs. In this unforgettable interview, author Wendy Dale joins Thomas J. Bellezza on The Write Mindset to share her incredible journey: from traveling the world and dodging bombs and bullets to partying with guerrilla soldiers and eventually becoming a celebrated memoirist.

    We dive into her latest release, The Memoir Engineering System, a practical and transformative guide to writing memoirs with structure and soul. Wendy opens up about how her wild past shaped her approach to storytelling—and why your life doesn’t need to be extreme to be worth writing about.

    If you're a writer looking for memoir guidance, creative inspiration, or just a great story, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Let’s work, grow, and rise together as we develop The Write Mindset.

  • Should Authors Be Judged by Their Stories? Author Eloise Bahr

    Should Authors Be Judged by Their Stories? Author Eloise Bahr
    Nov 21 2025
    Should Authors Be Judged by Their Stories? In this thought-provoking conversation, author Eloise Bahr joins Thomas J. Bellezza to explore a complex question:

    Is what you write a reflection of who you are? Together, they unpack the debate around whether authors should be judged by the themes they explore, especially controversial ones like slavery, murder, or violence. Is a writer responsible for the dark worlds they create? Or is fiction a place where ideas should be tested, not endorsed?

    If you're a writer, reader, or creative thinker, this candid discussion will challenge assumptions, spark dialogue, and deepen your understanding of the relationship between author, story, and audience. Let’s work, grow, and rise together as we develop The Write Mindset.
