I uncovered this month-long NPR series “How Writers Create Their Fiction”, originally run in November 2006. I found many of the ideas presented by the various writers to be informative and inspirational, so we’ll be featuring one writer from the series per day during February.

Today’s writer is Lewis Buzbee:

How He Writes: “I have an 8-year-old daughter, and since she’s been in my life, I’ve had to write when I can, which usually involves a couple of hours here or there, sometimes at night, sometimes when she’s at school. It’s catch as catch can. I’ve written two books in the last five years writing this way.”

Writer’s Block Remedy: “I write. Anything. Sentences, paragraphs, descriptions of the street, passing strangers. V.S. Pritchett said, ‘Invention invents itself.’ I believe that.”

Come back tomorrow at 9AM PST for more writing wisdom.
