Bookslut has an interview with Scarlett Thomas, author of The End of Mr. Y and PopCo among others. Go check it out.
It should be no surprise to you all that I love Ms. Thomas. Love her. The End of Mr. Y sort of blew my mind and things really haven't been the same since. I've been sitting on some lovely links from her site for some time now, trying to come up with an inventive way to incorporate them into a longer post. It seems I may never get to that longer post, so I humbly offer some excellent, excellent writing advice from her own site:
- Thomas on Beginning a Novel
- Thomas' Notes for New Writers
- Thomas on Novels That Changed Me
Really excellent stuff. I appreciate her candor, her roll up your sleeves and get on with it approach. Some of the best writing advice I've read in years. Truly.
