What drives someone to keep writing when the odds are terrible and the outcome is uncertain?
In this extended episode of The M. Gardner Show, novelist M. Gardner explores the deeply personal origins of his writing life. Beginning with a mental health diagnosis in 2017 and the chaos that followed, he shares how therapy, journaling, and imagination gradually transformed into a commitment to storytelling.
The conversation moves beyond autobiography into the psychology of narrative itself: why writing can create a sense of agency, how flow state affects the brain, and why stories have the power to transport us into other lives. M. Gardner also examines the different psychological drives behind fantasy, horror, thrillers, and romance, and reflects on what famous writers such as Stephen King, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Maya Angelou believed was the true purpose of writing.
This episode is ultimately about one question: What is the question your story is trying to ask?
Whether you’re an experienced author, a new writer, or someone with a story you’ve never dared to finish, this episode offers an honest look at the drive behind the page—and why that drive may be the rarest thing a writer possesses.
