Writers Write untitled creative writing prompts . com ideas for writers Fiction University untitled In Libro Veritas Robin Black How did you become a writer? I took a super circuitous route. Growing up, I wanted to be an actress and a singer, ambitions that I dropped the second I arrived at Sarah Lawrence and saw the theater kids there. They were so sophisticated, so cool, I nearly died of social anxiety, and gave up before I began. (My decision-making skills are not always the best.) In May, 2001, when I was thirty-nine, my father died. Fall 2001, I entered The Rittenhouse Writers group in Philadelphia, and July 2003, I entered the Warren Wilson MFA Program. Name your writing influences (writers, books, teachers, etc.). Allan Gurganus and Steven Schwartz are without question the teachers who have had the greatest influence on me. Authors who have influenced me include Virginia Woolf (of course!) When and where do you write? All the time and all over the house. What are you working on now? Have you ever suffered from writer’s block? That would be 1982-2001. And then, post 2001, it depends how you define it.

Karl Ove Knausgaard, the Author of 'My Struggle,' on the Power of Short Stories By Heart is a series in which authors share and discuss their all-time favorite passages in literature. See entries from Jonathan Franzen, Amy Tan, Khaled Hosseini, and more. Karl Ove Knausgaard isn’t known for being brief. My Struggle—his celebrated six-volume, 3,600-page autobiographical novel—is an experiment in radical scope, a kind of literary ultra-marathon. In our conversation for this series, though, Knausgaard chose to examine the biblical story of Cain and Abel—a text he admires for its extreme compression. My Struggle is being serially translated into English, and the latest volume—Book Four—comes out Tuesday. Knausgaard’s work has been translated into more than 15 languages. Karl Ove Knausgaard: I first heard the Cain and Abel story at school, when I was seven or eight. I need 300 or 400 pages to say something significant. In some ways, this concision is typical of the Old Testament. I was invited to be a consultant for the New Norwegian Bible translation of this story.
