Episode Summary:
In this heartfelt and wide-ranging discussion, author Timothy Robare sits down with Brenden Pugh to share how his creative process shifts across genres, from crafting epic fantasy worlds to documenting the harrowing stories of veterans.

What’s Inside:
Writing Rituals and Creative Flow:
Timothy reveals that his writing process is unstructured, ranging from listening to music for inspiration to writing in complete silence.
He embraces spontaneity, letting his mood dictate whether he drafts in peace or with the hum of background noise (New Girl makes an appearance!).
Expanding Beyond Fantasy:
Beyond his Tales of Battle series, Timothy dives into poetry, a genre he connects with deeply as a way to explore emotions and artistic expression.
He discusses his first book: a memoir of a World War II veteran. Timothy shares the unforgettable experience of piecing together the vet's vivid memories of battle—stories that remained sharp even as dementia clouded the rest of his life.
Historical Memoirs as a Calling:
Timothy talks about his attempts to document the stories of other veterans, including a Vietnam vet and an Afghanistan veteran with multiple deployments.
Despite setbacks, Timothy is determined to honor the voices of those who’ve lived extraordinary lives.
Preserving Family Legacy:
Brenden shares how his military family’s journals and letters have inspired him to consider writing a historical fiction novel.
Both authors reflect on the importance of preserving these personal histories before they’re lost.
