INTERVIEW WITH ELIZA MAXWELL

What projects are you working on at the present?

I’m finishing up the first draft of a new book called THE SHADOW WRITER. It’s about a woman running from her past who is willing to go to shocking lengths to finally grab onto her dreams of becoming a published author.

Do you have a mantra for writing and/or for life?

          I have a tendency to take on responsibility for things that aren’t mine to take. It’s a problem and I’m working on it. So toward that end, I’ve taken a friend’s advice and whenever I’m tempted, I repeat to myself, “Not my monkeys, not my zoo.” Surprisingly, it works pretty well.

Are you a full-time or part-time writer?  How does that affect your writing?

These days I am a full-time writer. At least, full time while the kids are in school. I’m not sure though it’s been a terribly good thing for my writing. There’s not as much urgency to use the time as wisely, so I tend to creep too close to deadlines, then make a mad dash during the last few months.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

To manipulate time. To visit my grandmothers, who have both passed now. To fast forward through the hard days and slow down the amazing ones. Each time I look at pictures of my kids from a few years ago and realize we’ll never have that back, I think to myself, time is a bastard.

What do you want your tombstone to say?

Every little thing’s gonna be alright

 

laid bare, Jenna and Lars may find that accepting the past isn’t their greatest challenge. Can they afford the heartbreaking price of forgiveness?
