Welcome to part three of my interview with Jenna Blum, author of the new psychological thriller “Murder Your Darlings,” which will keep you up and crack you up while also offering an inside peek at the writing life. Jenna's other books include the New York Times and internationally bestselling “Those Who Save Us,” “The Storm Chasers,” and “The Lost Family.” She's also written the memoir “Woodrow on the Beach” and produced the audio course, The Author at Work.
Today, we're going to get a peek at where Jenna is headed next, as well as what she's been reading, watching, drinking, and fantasizing about eating, including:
- A peek into her publishing process and how she’s figuring out which book she’ll write next
- Props to her parents for actually encouraging her to write for a living
- The things she does for fun–and the vision she has to bring them all together, which should make you very excited if you write, eat pie, enjoy water sports, and/or love dogs
- Some great shows about writing that are streaming now
- The collection of coffee mugs that are key accessories for her writing process
- The coffee maker she’s such a good customer of they sent her a free machine when hers broke
- The musical era she’s stuck in
- Why she never gets up early
- Her greasy death row meal that breaks all her food guidelines
