Maybe it’s because I’m teaching writing again, but I love this interview between Ann Patchett and Elizabeth McCracken. And, yes, I stole it – as all good ideas are stolen – in this case from good buddy and excellent novelist Caroline Leavitt (at right).
Isn’t it a great interview? I went nuts when I read it because it addressed everything I obsess and worry about, and I figure well, if those two worry about these things, then I’m not as neurotic and hopeless as I thought!
It is. I read it quickly last night and want to go back to it when I have more time later today. Thanks for turning me onto it!
