Ann Quinn
What is a good writing habit you have picked up?
From Lia Purpura, alternating drafts in handwriting and printing—I see things each time I reproduce the text.
What does your inner writing voice tell you?
My inner writing voice is often crying to be heard, stamped down by a chorus of “shoulds.” It is saying, “use me to discover—I can tell you things you didn’t know you knew about yourself and the world.”
If you didn’t write, what would you do?
Just read—probably more novels. I do other stuff, like most writers. One thing I really love that writing has enabled is teaching writing to others.
Ann has been included in Yellow Arrow Journal’s Doubt (Vol. IV, No. 1) and Freedom (Vol. IV, No. 2) issues and is now joining our wonderful group of volunteers as Poetry Editor!
