This time, it was to the excellent Marie Marshall, who interviewed me for her blog. “The difficulty with interviewing writer and teacher-of-writing Samuel Snoek-Brown,” she writes in the introduction, “is that his web site is so comprehensive that there is little left to ask.

A Writer’s Notebook: NaNoWriMo prep and notecards

I had a great idea for a novel, but I’m not yet into it enough to plow through a rapid-fire month of 1,700 words a day.
