The first question is from Michael’s commercial writing world, very collaborative and efficient. Time is money, and Michael is so good at that process; but that world simply can’t afford to innovate, rework, toss out 80%, start over … like an author / artist working and exploring on their own. I’m going to order some of Sheila Heti’s work because of this interview. If a craftsman / teacher like Michael finds her writing interesting, I’m interested.
I’d be curious to know if she writes her end in the beginning, and by that, i don’t mean know what the end is, but rarer, is the end written into the beginning in metaphorical paraphrasing…
I read slowly and re-read everything I need to be more clear on. I also re-read authors' books I loved. I keep them and read them many times.
