I had the pleasure of being selected to participate in a blog hop called My Next Big Thing . I was tagged by Nancy Hinchcliff, writer, editor, educator, musician, and innkeeper from Louisville, Ky. I was asked to respond to the following ten questions concerning my most recent project. 1. What is the working title of your book or project? Backwater 2. Where did the idea come from for the book or project? There never seems to be just one idea, but two or three or four that come together, becoming more than the sum of the parts. I had made notes toward a novel several years ago, when I found my high school yearbook in the course of packing for a move. Among the comments and mottos written by friends was an inscription from the “popular girl,” to the effect that she hoped we could put all that behind us and be friends. I could not remember that small spat, but the minor mystery haunted me. I also read several comments referring to my “adventures at Pine-Apple Junctio
Just read your excellent guest spot on Nancy Hinchliff's blog - agreed with all you say about the advantages of a training in journalism! All the best with Blood Clay.
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah - Thanks for stopping by! Sorry for the delay in responding. Simultaneously trying to set up book tour events, close out the semester, edit poems for the journal, do an interview, and get back into the traces on a new novel. Those years working on six things at once in the newsroom were good practice!
