Connecting Writers: The
Writing Process Blog Tour
What
am I working on?
I
work in several genres and I’m the features editor for a flash fiction journal,
so right now I’m working on a comic interview, a graphic novel, several short
stories and poems, plotting out a couple of novels and putting
together the June issue for Flash Frontier.
How
does my work differ from others of its genre?
My
work isn’t easily categorised as one genre or another, so I’d say diversity is
my niche. For example, my comics lean towards poetry, my fiction towards art,
and so forth. I’m interested in meta-fiction and such work tends to defy genre
restraints.
Why
do I write what I do?
Writing’s
a privilege that I haven’t always had and likely, such is the need to earn
money, I’m unlikely to have for much longer, so I’m making the most of it. I’m
interested in giving voice to characters from social groups who tend not to be
represented frequently in literary fiction, poetry and comics.
How
does my writing process work?
I
wrote a guest post about my writing process here, for Alison Lock's blog.
Thank
you for this, Catherine McNamara. I'm passing the baton to Teresa Stenson, who will post
next week.
I'm endlessly fascinated by other people's writing process. It's so interesting and it helps me reexamine my work style. I love the idea of giving voice to less represented social groups. You are doing good work in every way.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lori - you're always so supportive of me! xx
ReplyDeleteYes I too am oft inspired by your approach and your output, Lady Rae.
ReplyDeleteJust having a look at these questions so I can answer them in the next day or so. Thanks for picking me to hold the baton for a bit. You know I sometimes need a prod to blog. Prodded.
Thank you! And thanks for accepting the baton, Teresa! Can't wait to read your answers.
ReplyDeleteI think we bloggers all need a prod from time to time - just look how long we've been blogging for. We deserve medals, or cake. I vote for cake! Cake prod, anyone? xx
