::: YOU ASK JILL SOLOWAY
One
of our regular features at FRESH DAILY will be FRESH ANSWERS
where readers can ask any of their favorite FRESH YARN CONTRIBUTORS
a question regarding writing. Today, JILL SOLOWAY, author
and film and TV writer/producer (Six Feet Under)
ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION...
A
FRESH YARN READER from Boston, MA asks: "You're
a writer who has achieved success in three genres -- television,
film and now prose. Would you say you prefer one over the
other? Does one form resonate more than another? And if you
could achieve success beyond your wildest dreams in only one,
which would it be?"
JS:
Success in my wildest dreams would be making scads of money
to write essays. It's so fun and therapuetic and easy for
me. I don't even think when I do it, just let my fingers relieve
the anxiety of emotional lonliness. Explaining every little
crevice of what I see when I look at the world is a relief
and I can do it morning noon or night. I am trying to get
better at it -- meaning letting go more... allowing more poetry
into my writing instead of neurotic description.
