When I’m drafting, I usually stay pretty focused on that one, but there have been exceptions.ĭid you have to overcome any fears that first time you sat down to write? I’ve drafted some in 6-8 weeks, and others took 3-4 months.ĭo you work on one project at a time, or are you a multi tasker? Also, the more I let the “planner” side out, the faster it seems to go. There is no “typical” for me, because it depends on a lot of things, like how much time the day-job is taking. How long does it typically take you to write a novel, start to finish? Those notes always get added to as I’m drafting, because my brain tends to move ahead of the writing. Other times it’s more of a rough bullet-points outline. Sometimes just a touch of vocabulary or world-building. ![]() I’ll usually jot a note or two before starting.

In contrast, The National has been the poster child for an indie-rock band, more at home in a grungy after hours club than an arena. Swift is the epitome of a pop star, mining her personal struggles for inspiration and pairing them with catchy tunes which have stadiums of adoring fans singing along. But they have typically appealed to very different audiences. Taylor Swift and The National have both been very influential musical artists.

Being in a very small group of genre writers who've made it on, like Madeline Ashby, that's incredibly great company to be keeping. The fact that this is resonating with so many people and has been received so warmly and to be on Canada Reads is legitimately a dream come true. I put everything I liked into it and things that I thought were important and things that I love when they happen in stories, all of that was distilled in there. I wrote Hench for me and for my friends and for a very small, beloved target audience. Natalie Zina Walschots ( NZW): I don't want this to come across as cliché, but it barely seems real.
