A Conversation with Laura Dave
A writing tip, book recommendation, and other great insights from Laura that were not covered in our on-air interview, which you can WATCH or LISTEN to now!
For any aspiring writers out there, would you please share a short bit of writing advice?
Writers write. It's not about publishing or what comes later. It's about sitting in the chair and trying to do the work. Commit to a writing ritual (for some writers that's every day, for others that's a few hours a week - anything is okay!!) Stay loyal to the habit even when you dont feel like it -- and you'll find your way to the story you most want to tell. Also, two wonderful books to keep by your side: On Writing by Stephen King and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
What is the last book you raved about and what did you love about it?
I just read (and blurbed) an early copy of The Guilt Pill by Saumya Dave. It's coming out next Spring- and I just love the way Saumya writes.
What can you tell us about your work-in-progress?
