<\/div>\n

\"INDUSTRYKylie Ladd, one of my very favourite ‘acclaimed Australian authors<\/a>‘, launched her third book Into My Arms<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

I met Kylie on Twitter in my very earliest weeks, and she was and is all of the good things: smart, funny, engaging, friendly. I read her first book After The Fall<\/i> soon after, and was hooked.<\/p>\n

Last time she visited, we talked about characters and voice and lots of other good writing stuff. This time, well … read on.<\/p>\n

Now that you have your third book, do you think that the writing gets easier or more difficult as you go along?<\/b>
\nKylie Ladd<\/b>: “It should<\/i> be easier, and in some ways it is, because I have the psychological crutch of knowing that I have done this before, a number of times now, and thus there\u2019s no reason I can\u2019t do it again. But really, every book is different, and every book should be harder if you\u2019re also pushing for it to be better than your last (and if you aren\u2019t, why not?), so the short answer is no, not at all. They\u2019re all their own individual forms of hell.”<\/p>\n

Do you finish each book with an idea of what the next one might be about?<\/b>
\nKylie Ladd<\/b>: “Thankfully I do. It\u2019s never a clear, fully-formed idea, but usually as I come into the final 20 or 30,000 words of whatever I\u2019m working on I can sense something glimmering out of the corner of my eye. The trick is not to look at it directly – for one, I might scare it away. More importantly, though, it\u2019s not a time for playing with new ideas – I need to keep my eyes on the horizon so I can steer the story I\u2019m telling into shore.<\/p>\n

“It is a comfort to have it there though. I\u2019m not one of those writers who has a thousand ideas before bed each day – usually I only have one every few years, and then I have to make sure I can make it last the length of a book. I\u2019m at the 75,000 word mark of my next (hopefully, fourth) novel now, and I can just feel something beginning to take shape at the edges of my brain. I really hope it\u2019s a new novel, and not a migraine.”<\/p>\n

Relationships of one form or another are at the heart of all your books \u2013 what’s the most difficult thing about writing about relationships?<\/b>
\nKylie Ladd<\/b>: “Keeping them real. Having my characters do and say things that real people do, and not what I want them do to move the plot along or work in a nice piece of exposition or what have you. I also get a bit nervous about writing male characters, in case I get the voice wrong, but hopefully I\u2019m getting over that. At the end of the day we\u2019re all people first and foremost.”<\/p>\n

You’re an author who doesn’t blog, FB, pin or all the rest \u2013 though you do Tweet. Do you agree with Charlotte Wood that ‘branding is junk<\/a>‘? Or is there another reason you don’t get too involved?<\/b>
\nKylie Ladd<\/b>: “Oooh, I didn\u2019t know Charlotte said that. I like her even more now! I can definitely see the importance of branding to some extent, but I\u2019m not sure it would be worth it for me. I don\u2019t really think I\u2019m all that interesting\u2026 but hopefully my novels are, so that\u2019s what I\u2019d rather work on and put my effort into.<\/p>\n

“The other reason I don\u2019t get too involved, as you say, is time (see next question!) and, to be honest, that thing I mentioned above about my general dearth of ideas. I have blogged in the past in a paid position (I know<\/i>! But not paid much) and while I enjoyed it and am proud of what I produced in that year I found that it didn\u2019t leave much in my tank for my fiction; that I was using insights and ideas and quandaries that I normally would\u2019ve explored or addressed in a novel in my weekly column instead, and then I wasn\u2019t much interested in them anymore or felt I couldn\u2019t go over them again. Also, the pressure to always have something fresh and new and well-punctuated coming along did my head in. (NB. I do actually Facebook. Clearly not that well though!<\/i>)”<\/p>\n

How in the world do you fit being a successful author around being a parent AND a part-time job as a neuropsychologist?<\/b>
\nKylie Ladd<\/b>: “By not blogging<\/i>. Seriously though, it\u2019s about discipline- it\u2019s about setting aside time to write and refusing to let myself be talked into going out to lunch or seeing a private patient or even meeting for coffee on those days. It\u2019s about keeping them so sacrosanct that one of my kids would have to be in the ER before I got up from the desk. It\u2019s about allowing myself a bit of time to muck around on Twitter but then unplugging my computer and going to work in the kitchen or backyard if necessary so I can get something done without being lured astray by the siren song of the internet. (We don\u2019t have wireless so I can accomplish this. My children believe we are living in the stone age.)<\/p>\n

“Reading back, this all sounds a bit obsessive, but something I always say to my creative writing students<\/a> is that the first rule of being a\u00a0 writer is to write. They all look at me like I\u2019m nuts (Write<\/i>. I paid money for this?), but it\u2019s true. When you can write – and for most of us, that time is limited – the writing must come first.”<\/p>\n

Visit Kylie at her website<\/a>, or say hello on Twitter<\/a> (or, apparently, on Facebook!<\/a>). <\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
