I talk a lot. 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. I’m reduced to quizzing him about theContinue reading “A conversation with Marie Marshall”

The last of the conversation with EJ Runyon
Originally posted on E.J. Runyon's Author Blog:
As a run up to National Novel Writing Month for 2012, we’ve been talking to writer, Samuel Snoek-Brown, my guest for the past three weeks. He wrote a short story that really caught me, and we’ve been deconstructing it and discussing it’s structure. I seriously recommend…
A Writer’s Notebook: NaNoWriMo prep and notecards
Yes, once again, National Novel Writing Month is just around the corner. Yet I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to participate this year. 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. Plus, I’m teaching more this year andContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: NaNoWriMo prep and notecards”

An interview with me at the UW-Platteville creative writing blog
Yesterday, Ryan Werner name-dropped me in his interview with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s creative writing blog. So they contacted me, and today, my interview is online, too. Among the things we talk about: writers in Wisconsin, dreams, snow and Dairy Days and strawberry shortcake in Wisconsin, Sarah Rose Etter and Jac Jemc, fall on theContinue reading “An interview with me at the UW-Platteville creative writing blog”
A Writer’s Notebook: notes from a reading
When I go to literary readings, I always take my notebook. Before I got my iPod, I took my notebook everywhere, but now that I can rely on the much slimmer iPod for emergency idea-jotting, I sometimes leave the thicker notebook at home. But at readings? I have to have paper and pencil to scribbleContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: notes from a reading”
Jesse Lee Kercheval sent me mail
Yes, what you’re looking at is a photo of two books, both by Jesse Lee Kercheval, that arrived in my mail today. And they weren’t in an Amazon box — they were in a thick manila envelope with my name and address handwritten by Kercheval herself. How, you ask? It pays to engage the writingContinue reading “Jesse Lee Kercheval sent me mail”
A Writer’s Notebook: yearbook memories
I don’t know what this is or where it would ever go. But it felt good to write. In my 8th-grade yearbook, on the inside covers where people are supposed to leave their indelible wisdom for the ages alongside their silly doodles and autographs, there is a fantastically artistic signature from Shanna J. She claimedContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: yearbook memories”
