Brain Pickings has long been one of my favorite sources for inspiration—every post informing and revealing.

This part made me gleefully dizzy:
"Pair with E. B. White on the responsibility of the writer."

Thank you to Lauren Cerand for the thought-provoking questions, and to PEN American Center for their generous support of writers.

And I'm grateful to Andrew Sullivan's THE DISH for, once again, sharing the interview.

It's an honor to be included in this thought-provoking article on sexism in the literary world along with four seriously brilliant writers (who also have a great sense of humor) Roxane Gay, Adelle Waldman, Lydia Millet & Ayelet Waldman.

Big thanks to Orli Van Mourik and Brooklyn Based.

And it was fun to give a shout-out to a few great supporters of gender equality in literature, including Rob Spillman, Elissa Schappell, Laura Miller, Michelle Dean, and VIDA: Women in Literary Arts!

My responses on how NOT writing can turn out be a good thing; confessions of my many one-night-stands with novels; writing while working; writing while parenting; self-loathing; motivation; sharing your work, and the ways I tricked myself into not giving up in the 10+ years it took me to reach publication.
Thank you to Rebecca Meacham for the inspiring questions.
My favorite: "So not-writing can actually be good for writing a novel?"
Make sure to check out the great interviews with other novelists, including Dean Bakopoulos, Allison Lynn and Celeste Ng, and wisdom from Cristina Henriquez, Rebecca Land Soodak, Leah Stewart, and Ploughshares’ blog editor Andrew Ladd.
