Interview!

The Baeg Tobar team and I all got interviewed back in March for the site Conversations with Writers. My interview has been posted today -- I think we'll see something from [livejournal.com profile] lyster, Scott Colby, and Daniel Tyler Gooden soon, as well. I'll post the links when they're up.

A quick excerpt from one of my answers (that I hadn't remembered writing, but definitely sums up my feelings on the nature of story):

I love telling stories, no question about it. I think there's a magic in it, that we're following in a grand tradition that goes back to the beginning of language. Even if the story doesn't seem to have much to it, the act of telling, and of connecting, is -- I think -- part of what makes us human. And hopefully, if we can relate to each other's stories, we can relate to each other.

When you have a chance, please do go check out the rest of the interview.
