There’s an incubation period and you’ve got to just sit with them for a long time. It took me years to finish some of those things, like I literally finishing stories that I wrote in 2009 two years ago.īrad Listi: That happens sometimes, though. I mean, you know, there’s the half-finished stories and things like that. I just rolled along with it, but at some point it stopped. I didn’t know how much misery can come from trying to publish. I was figuring things out, and it was so exciting. I say that because now it takes me forever to get out anything.īrad Listi: What’s the difference? You think you just had some weird wave of energy back then? THE LAST TIME WE SAW BEARS IN LAKE CASTOR by Eryk Pruitt THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT by J. My husband was big on that, and they would just watch wrestling and I would have my laptop out or I would just have a notebook out and I would be writing something. Everybody would sit around two nights a week watching wrestling. Then when I would come home, and I would cook dinner and then there’s playtime in between. And if I got a chance later on, I would go on Dropbox or whatever and then work on the actual document there at my office in between. And then I’d write on a Post-it note and stick in my purse. I know that line the dialogue will push that a lot. Otherppl with Brad Listi is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth interviews with today’s leading writers.
Her other book, All Things Violent, is available from Fahrenheit Press. Nikki Dolson: Yes, because I could write something real quick on a Post-it note and then I could put it inside my purse and not forget it.
