My truly excellent neighbor, Ete Ah’Ping, does a podcast called “The Creator Next Door” in which he interviews people who are decidedly cooler than me. But he made an exception and sat down with me for an hour (plus a little) and we talked about creating, and making space for frailty, and giving ourselves the benefit of the doubt, and what it means to be a human being.
If you’re interested, here’s the episode. And the site is silly with amazing, expressive indie musicians. Seriously. They’re all SO COOL. If you currently hear the Sesame Street song “One of These Things is Not Like the Others” in your head, you are not alone, my friend. You are not alone.

Hello Becca,
This comment is not a response to the Podcast posting, but I didn’t know how else to reach you.
I just finished your delicious story, Check Me Out. I was delighted with the many evidences of your excellent writing: the texts, the pick-up lines, the poetry, Will’s eloquence, Mac’s verbal awkwardness, Mr. Greenwood’s grunts, Julie’s inevitable, “Greta, I’m glad you’re here.” You created such unique voices for your characters. I was entranced with the story, and even starting spacing out my reading the last 100 pages because I didn’t want the book to end.
Before I go, please solve a small mystery for me. Who was the library’s anonymous donor? Was it the reclusive Mr. Greenwood, aka Dr. Joshua Silver? Did I somehow miss that detail?
I’m eager for more books from Becca Wilhite. Please keep writing.
