Westport Writers' Rendezvous - December update

Westport Writers’ Rendezvous – December update

Our final meeting of the year was surprisingly well attended, considering how close it was to Christmas. Maybe people were taking a break from the seasonal rush.

I had a shift in perspective a few weeks before the book came out where I kind of realized, or embraced the fact that I am not writing for entertainment. ... I am saying something, always. Any project I have worked on, there are themes where I’m trying to say something, to myself, and to the world.

Adrienne Young, author of SKY IN THE DEEP.
