Interview with Lee Kofman – author and writing teacher
‘In each draft I try to get one or two things right rather than everything.’

- Prepare for writing session by thinking about the current project before sitting down at the desk.
- Gerald Murnane – three types of writers: curious, preachy and possessed/obsessed.
- Themes – doomed loves.

- Working on plotting skills but not plotting too much. Needs a sense of tension to keep the writing process interesting

- Imperfect – scars and haunted by shame. Inspired by her child’s diagnosis of albinism
