“I think we are living in an era of being hyper-concerned about, Is it us? Because we have this historical awareness. People really want to know: will it be us or our kids or our grandkids to live through this? We don't want it to happen, we don't want to be the ones with the poisoned water, but at the same time, I think there is this curiosity, like, Am I one of the "lucky" ones who gets to be here at the end? That's the tension I'm interested in.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantEndsHappensKidsWaterAwarenessLuckyConcernedHistoricalCuriosityErasTensionHyperGrandkids Author:Lucy Corin
“It's a matter of resisting what something made you feel before. And resisting that as a consumer is not easy. I know it isn't for me, and not just when I consume pop culture. When I go into a book and it feels too familiar, I don't have the energy to do it. My whole reason for reading it is to be in a fictive space that is unfamiliar to me.” KnowsFeelsMadeBookMatterReasonWholeCultureReadingEnergyEasySpacePopsFamiliarConsumersPop CultureResistingUnfamiliar Author:Lucy Corin
“You know how some people will say to writers, "Why don't you just write a romance novel that sells a bunch of copies and then you'll have the money to do the kind of writing you want to do"? I always say that I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that. It would be just as hard for me to do that kind of writing as it would be to learn how to do any number of productive careers that I can't manage to make myself do.” PeopleKnowsWantWritingKindI CanHardWould BeRomanceNumbersCareersNovelKnow HowSkillsSellsBunchManageProductiveCopiesRomance Novel Author:Lucy Corin
