Here’s the newest Walking and Talking, with the great Kate DiCamillo! Kate came to Saratoga Springs a couple weeks ago for an event at Northshire Bookstore, and, thanks to my wife Rachel (events manager at Northshire), I got a chance to chat with her about her new novel, Raymie Nightingale, and her writing process. Basically, I wanted to know how she does it. I’m trying to write a novel of my own now, so I wanted fiction writing secrets. But interestingly, like most great writers I meet, she doesn’t think too much about process. She just follows her instincts – and revises like crazy. Anyway, I think our conversation makes for a pretty good comic. Thanks as always to Betsy Bird and the Fuse #8 blog for posting it!
