I'm always interested in seeing how other people fit writing into their lives (or how they fit their lives around their writing, as it sometimes happens). <br /><br />Historial fiction fascinates me, even while I'm intimidated by the idea of getting the details right, so I haven't done more than tinker with it a little. I might have to play a little more. =)Heather Justesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585046213575146355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-48155718852298470182009-05-01T15:44:00.000-07:002009-05-01T15:44:00.000-07:00I wasn't a fan of history, either, which makes it ...I wasn't a fan of history, either, which makes it odd that I now write (and therefore research) Regency, but hearing that you didn't like history but write historicals makes me feel better. <br />I hear so many say their they are plotters or organic pantsers, that I wondered if I were an oddball because I only loosely plot my story. I was glad to hear that you only loosely plot your story, too. Your story sounds lovely - and what a great tribute to your grandmother!Donna Hatchhttp://www.donnahatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-5483108751377581722009-05-01T14:31:00.000-07:002009-05-01T14:31:00.000-07:00I've only just discovered a love for historical fi...I've only just discovered a love for historical fiction. Janes description of history being the spine and then adding the blood, flesh and bones with the people, their backgrounds and everything that they went through, made so much sense. I can see how writing it could be a lot of fun. Also I admire the schedule she keeps. What a go-getter. <br />Thanks for the great interview, Marsha.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610208244881298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-71813032284577523232009-05-01T11:28:00.000-07:002009-05-01T11:28:00.000-07:00Marsha and Jane.

I wonder how that episode turned out. Also intrigued by your statement, Jane, about "how we sabotage our gifts." I've enjoyed several of your books, but especially liked Marie Darion's story in Every Fixed Star and A Name of Her Own. <br />Interesting that you write from 4 a.m to 5 p.m during your writing months. How do you fit in family and friends? If I should attempt to put in those hours, I would have to work from late evening into day, instead of morning into night.Eunice Boevehttp://www.euniceboeve.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-25005773311395873092009-05-01T11:21:00.000-07:002009-05-01T11:21:00.000-07:00Jane, you give such wonderful advice.

That's the "what if?" that we all should strive to answer in our writing.<br /><br />Thank you Jane and Marsha.

I especially liked the discoveries shown in this interview as she uncovered some of her grandmother's secrets. I really want to kinow why Grandma didn't tell the family about her own studio. The hint about mercury poisoning suggests a medical story to be unveiled in the reading. I'll look forward to yet another good read from this prolific and wise writer.<br />Thank you, Jane and Marsha<br /><br />Arletta DawdyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-42877525073469293052009-05-01T09:50:00.000-07:002009-05-01T09:50:00.000-07:00What a wonderful interview, Jane, Marsha.

Jane's is a HUGE success story and it's always interesting to learn how she applies herself to her craft.<br /><br />Many years ago we were camping in her part of Oregon, though I didn't know that at the time. We stopped at a cute little museum in Moro. While I was elsewhere in the museum, my husband Bruce wandered over to the book section. He found me with a book in his hand. "This looks like something you'd like."<br /><br />It was Jane's "A Sweetness to the Soul." That wonderful book was the first of many books I've read by Jane Kirkpatrick.<br /><br />Mary E.
