Overcoming Selfishness: A Writer’s Journey with William Chandler
In this Chris and Mike Show Short featuring William Chandler, the conversation shifts from craft to character. William opens up about something most creatives don’t talk about — selfishness in the artistic journey. Not in a malicious way, but in the subtle way ambition, ego, and “my story” can quietly take center stage. Writing forces you to confront yourself. And sometimes, what you find isn’t always flattering.
Chris and Mike explore how becoming a better writer often means becoming a better human. For William, growth didn’t just happen on the page — it happened in real life. Learning to listen more, serve more, and step outside of his own perspective made his characters deeper and his storytelling more honest. The discipline of writing became a mirror, reflecting areas that needed humility, patience, and maturity.
This episode hits deeper than plot lines and publishing. It’s about transformation. It’s about realizing that creativity isn’t just self-expression — it’s stewardship. And when a writer moves from “look at me” to “how can I serve the reader,” that’s when the real breakthrough happens.
