My interview in Ploughshares "One Year In: Writing the Novel" series
http://blog.pshares.org/index.php/one...
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.
