Praise For Sarina: <\/strong>“Bowen is a master at drawing you in from page one and leaving you aching for more.\u201d\u2014Elle Kennedy<\/a>,\u00a0New York Times<\/i>\u00a0bestselling author<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[NOTE: The below interview is transcribed from an audio interview]<\/em><\/p>\n

When<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? Are you the\u00a0same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n

I have had to transition to being more of an anytime, anywhere writer. I wrote my first novel at the New York society library. During the hours that my preschooler was with his class. There was no Wi-Fi at that library at the time. And there was nowhere else to go on the Upper East Side That wasn’t excruciatingly expensive. So I forced myself to learn how to sit down in front of the blank screen and get some words. But these days, I write almost everything from my room, where I also run my business. And I do this even if the place is a mess, or even if I haven’t eaten breakfast, or if there are dishes in the sink, I’ve just had to learn how to be somebody who can focus on the story. Some days, it goes better than other days.<\/p>\n

Do you have any\u00a0pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n

I don’t have any rituals or habits before I sit down to write. Except, hopefully, I’ve left myself some clues from the night before. But not always.<\/p>\n

\n

Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0writer\u2019s block<\/a>? Do you think such a thing exists?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

I don’t really have strong ideas about whether it does or doesn’t exist, but I definitely get stuck. And when I get stuck, there are some tricks I employ to getting unstuck. One of those tricks is to close the computer and pick up a notebook and a pen. Because a change of venue is important. And if I’m stuck on what happens next in the story, which is pretty much the way you get stuck, I will write down a bunch of things that might happen next, even if they’re not such great ideas. Or if I don’t know what happens immediately next, but I know some other things that are definitely going to happen in the story, then I will write those down. So I might write things that happen at the top of the page, and then start spewing out the rough ideas I have for what’s coming later in the book. And usually by looking at it that way I can figure out what’s missing in the middle. And then I know what to do.<\/p>\n

\n

Before writing full time, you were a trader on Wall Street. In our interview with Jess Lahey<\/a>, she said you are a \u201cnumber geek and breaks down algorithms and statistics and royalty statements for us like no one else can.\u201d Can you talk about how your knowledge and experience from your time on Wall Street has helped your writing career?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

I would say that in financial services, you learn to be very transactional in your thinking. And you know that everybody there is not in it for the art. They are in it for the money and the transactional success. So while\u00a0I think good writing can be very artistic, I never forget that many people’s thinking is transactional. And I also apply transactional thinking to my decision making about writing. And sometimes this is hard, sometimes you get an invitation to be in a really cool anthology and you want to do it. And maybe it’s even for charity. But guess what, I’m terrible at writing short stories and much better at writing novels. And you sometimes have to separate the opportunity from what it will really do to your schedule. And therefore I turned down lots of great opportunities because I know that they won’t work out with my way of writing or my schedule. So sure, Wall Street taught me how to be efficient in my decision making. And I certainly haven’t left that behind.<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019re far more prolific\u00a0than most writers. How do you keep the output and the pace that you keep? It\u2019s enviable.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Pound for pound, I’m not that fast of a writer. My pace is about 1200 words a day. I don’t think that’s super fast. But the trick is, I mean, every day, not just two months of great results, followed by four foul months. I need that 1200 words happen every day. Now, remember that I write books in series so that when I’m\u00a0on book four,\u00a0I already know a great deal about the people I’m writing about. That whole process of discovery that happens when you take on a completely new story is just faster when you’re writing in a series. The other things that I do to be a fast writer includes, like I said, switching from computer to a notebook when I get stuck. And something I also call pre-writing, which is to sketch out the chapter I’m about to write. Because if you do that, and you and it can be really messy and incomplete sentences and little snippets of dialogue or whatever. But when you do that, if something’s just not going to work, you learn much faster than it’s not going to work. And you won’t spend your whole day trying to craft pretty sentences for that scene.<\/p>\n

I also think that just changing from one screen to another screen, or one desk to a different desk, or your house to the library downtown\u2014all of these things can up your game. I read a book where the author called it the “grand gesture,” where if you drive downtown and put eight quarters in the meter and go into the college library and sit down, you’d better get the work done because you’ve taken all the trouble.\u00a0And sometimes little tricks like that can help me to focus and get the words that I need.\u00a0I also introduced Jess Lahey<\/a>\u00a0to the system of giving yourself a sticker when you meet your daily workout. And I do that because, it’s funny, if I’m close to getting that day sticker, but I’m not feeling it, I’ll still sit there and finish because I’m so close. That tiny little goal has a real currency with me. I want to see it succeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What does a successful writing day mean for you? And how do you finish out a day of writing? Do you have a process, or is it just that you know you\u2019ve hit a natural stopping point?<\/h3>\n

A successful writing day for me is at least 1200 words. But of course, usually I go over that. And then I miss a few days.<\/p>\n

So even though my average pace is 1200 words, my calendar is not covered with stickers. But on the day when I have succeeded, I will usually write 1500 or 2000. But I know people who commonly write 7000 words in a day, and I have just never ever been one of them. Every once in a while I can do that, but really almost never. My brain doesn’t go that fast. So I also don’t write my books in a straight line. Because I find that there is a lot of discovery that happens. So when I figure out what the discovery is that makes the book richer, I have to go back and seed my earlier chapters with the nuance and with the motif. Or maybe I’m adding conflict.<\/p>\n

So I have to go back and forth a lot. And that makes the front half of the book go much more slowly than the last half of the book. So by the last part, I figured everything out. And it’s easier to write fast.<\/p>\n

\n

What\u00a0books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n

Well, I would like to call out Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird<\/a><\/em> because it really was the first time I read this idea that a shitty first draft wasn’t just acceptable, but necessary, and that definitely shaped my thinking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is your\u00a0advice to aspiring writers<\/a>?<\/h3>\n

You have to learn to be critical of your work. And I don’t mean critical of yourself. That’s a different thing entirely. But being critical of your work instead of critical of yourself is a necessary skill. And if you can’t figure out how to judge when you’re doing great work and when you’re doing, you know, not such great work, then it’s going to be very hard to be read and to sell pieces if you can’t be your own best critic.<\/p>\n
