Welcome back to part two of my interview with Lori Gold, whose brand new novel is “Kiss, Marry, Kill,” a book about three friends who are sent into alternate universes after playing the classic sleepover game during a company trip.
Today, we’re getting into the psychology and mindset side of writing–the thoughts, ideas, and beliefs that play such a big part of this very interior profession.
We covered:
- Why “Kiss, Marry, Kill” took two years to revise
- How she determines when she’s done enough book promotion
- What she tells herself when the doubts start coming
- How getting older has changed what she writes about
- Infusing a fictional story with your real-life feelings
- Feeling your gravitational pull tilt away from ambition as you enter your 50s
- Why “write what you know” isn’t true
- A plug for the power of planning
