A Q&A with Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum

Here is a link to a Q&A with author Kristen Sundberg Lunstrum: Chronicle Books Blog. I read Kristen first book of short stories, and she is now releasing her second book entitled "Swimming With Strangers." I enjoyed her comments on her writing process--it is nice to see that not every successful writer writes every day:

"I wish I could say that I keep regular writing hours and meet a particular page count each day (doesn’t every writer want to be one of those writers?). As it is, I’m a fitful and tediously slow writer, and there are often long spans of time between projects for me. I used to feel guilty about these fallow periods, but have come to see them as a necessary and useful part of the process—time to read and think and read some more, so that I can return to the page later with a better sense of craft and, hopefully, a slew of new ideas, too."

Sometimes life gets in the way of writing. And sometimes you just need to step back for a minute, or a month, and get a new perspective. Or that could just be my latest procrastination excuse.
