Why is writing important to you and why do you think it’s an important medium for the world? Connection and communication of our hearts and minds; writing, talking, and listening bring about healing.

What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? Write the way you talk without an editor on your shoulder, then go back later to shape it.

What is your favorite time to write? Every morning with a fountain pen.

What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers? Sit down and write as though you are talking to someone to whom you can say anything.

What excites you most about being a writer in today’s age? Being two-years-from-80 and writing every day.

Cornelia Maude Spelman’s Solace is out now with Jackleg Press.
