Talking with Barbara, Part Two
Reblogged from Just Book Reading:
Today is part two of my interview with Barbara Friend Ish, author of The Way of the Gods series and publisher over at Mercury Retrograde Press. Today, we’ll be talking about her books. Part one of this interview where we talked about the writing process, is here.
Amy: I enjoyed The Shadow of the Sun immensely and I’m looking forward to the second book in The Way of the Gods series.
Part 2 of my delightful (well, for me at least) chat with Amy at Just Book Reading is live today. This time we're talking mostly about the business of writing. I almost went off on a rant with this:
Barbara: Writing is a business—but first it’s an art. I think showing up in the study every day is an important practice because it keeps the creative juices flowing, but to expect to hold an artist to production schedules is destructive, and results in lousy art.
But all I will say on that topic today is Expect more on this topic. And meanwhile, stop by Just Book Reading for some terrific questions from someone who understands the business well enough to field truly penetrating queries.
