Throwing Words Into the Water


With our writing contest finishing up and a new writing group for adults beginning in March, I thought it might be worth it to share some links to interesting conversations about the pleasures and difficulties of writing fiction.

In this first post we visit Bomb magazine for a lengthy interview with Nam Le, an excellent short story writer from Down Under. Interviewing Le is Charles D'ambrosio, who was the Hugo Visiting Writer at the University of Montana in 2006. They grapple with some deep, interesting stuff here, and it's a real treat to read what to they have to say about their craft. If you haven't done so already, make sure to check out their most recent books from the Staff Picks section of the library.

Also, if you want to try your own hand at writing, come join us and other aspiring writers at our first adult writer's workshop on Saturday, March 5th, from 10:00-12:00 in the Boardroom.
