In this last episode in Season 1 of The Nature Of Authors and the first episode recorded outside of Instagram Live, Chrissy interviews Stacey Potter, author of The Project. Chrissy starts with an icebreaker related to nature and her favorite thing about being a writer.
Stacey's award-winning debut novel, The Project, is about Sabella, a sophomore in college who has to do a volunteer project: being a companion for eighty-three-year-old nursing-home resident, May. Having grown up with a bitter grandmother and a well-earned lack of enthusiasm for old people, Sabella dreads this project.
But Sabella's anxiety about her assignment turns to fascination as she discovers May's vibrant spirit, life of independence, and stash of handwritten letters from the one who got away. Now Sabella is inspired to create a project of her own: reunite these two long-lost lovers while there's still time.
Throughout the episode, Stacey and Chrissy discuss the process of developing characters, the process of awards, what gravitated her toward women's fiction and romance, deeper meaning in writing, her favorite books and authors, the editing process, balancing areas of life and writing, self-publishing, and writing tools. Near the end, Stacey reads one of her favorite scenes. Be sure to check out The Project, and connect with Stacey Potter via Instagram, Facebook, or her website.
