  • From traumatic brain injury to emerging author | LitRPG author Jason J. Willis
    Jul 19 2025

    Send us a text

    After a traumatic brain injury left him with a rare form of amnesia, Jason J. Willis reconnected with the world through reading, transforming his personality in unexpected ways and leading to a lifelong love of storytelling. In this thought-provoking episode of Writers Drinking Whiskey, we explore the evolving landscape of storytelling with author Jason J. Willis, diving into the resurgence of serial novels, the proliferation of indie publishing, and how traditional models are being disrupted in today's digital age. Willis shares insights on what writers consume when they need creative distraction—from audiobooks and podcasts to guilty pleasures like Star Wars commentary videos—revealing how these consumption habits influence their work. The conversation examines the fascinating intersection between high and low-brow content consumption, the balance between work and creative input, and poses important questions about the future of books and publishing. Whether you're an aspiring author, established writer, or simply curious about where storytelling is headed in our rapidly changing media environment, this episode offers valuable perspectives on navigating the exciting yet terrifying frontier of modern publishing.
