I had a really fun conversation with Matthew Schmidt from Iowa-based 1 Week Critique.

See me react to my first printed galley (1:24); learn how I trick myself when revising (15:32); hear why novels are better than movies (minute 21), how Wisconsin politics influenced me (24:34), landscape as a force/Ecofiction (28:15), writing characters different than me (37:10), Ecoterrorism and the craft problem of writing about climate change (44:30), and the dumb thing I said to my publisher when they called to tell me they wanted the book (48:30).
