What brings your writing into focus—the characters,
the stories, or the love of words? Characters do it for me.
If something’s not working in my story it’s usually because I haven’t connected
in any meaningful way to my characters. That’s where the heart lies. I look to them to lead me where I need to go.
What are your top three reasons for writing? These three writers put it best:
- Elie Wiesel: “I write to understand as much as to be understood.”
- Ted Hughes: “What's writing really about? It's about trying to take fuller possession of the reality of your life.”
- Dani Shapiro: “Everything you need to know about life can be learned from a genuine and ongoing attempt to write.”
What do I think people will like about your book? If you mean the
above-mentioned book I have yet to write—no outline or anything yet—I’m
thinking people would like it for the same reason they’ve liked my memoir, Loveyoubye: Holding Fast, Letting Go, and
Then There’s the Dog. A brief quote
from a reviewer might help. “Rossandra
is such an exciting writer. She has an amazing command of the language and her
emotional pitch of tragedy and triumph is sublime.”
