Are you fascinated by the process of other writers? Then check out James Moran's interview with Amber Benson on craft. Amber Benson has acted, directed, and written comics, novels, and scripts--a smörgåsbord of creative endeavors!
I don't only recommend this to writers and those interested in film--it's a great tool for teachers as well, a way to get your students talking about writing process. Personally I showed this to my Intro to College Writing students and they loved it. "Vomit Draft" is still in our class vocabulary. We're also always talking about what we can steal from other writers' processes.
If you're interested in the book that Amber Benson mentions, The Witches of Echo Park, it releases January 6th, 2015. You can pre-order your copy today. (I already have!)
What writing processes have you guys stolen, either from this interview or other sources?
