Today I’m over on the Panache Cat blog talking to Jacqui Brown, editor of Women’s Ink and Varuna House alumni, about… writing! Here’s Jacqui’s intro to the interview:
A run-in with a street thief seems like an unlikely moment to know you’re truly a writer, but that’s the way it was for author, teacher and mentor Zena Shapter! I’m delighted to talk with Zena about her writing, publishing and the value of creativity in the community. Hi Zena, when did you decide you were truly a writer?
Find out the answer, and the rest of the interview over here, which explores:
- What was the process for writing and publishing your first book?
- What other work do you like to do?
- How do you fit in time for your own writing? What do you suggest for people who live busy lives but want to write?
- Many writers say writing is a compulsion, would you agree?
- What role do you think creativity plays, not only in people’s lives but in communities?
Thank you for having me on your blog, Jacqui! I loved answering these amazing questions!
The full interview is here.
