The Long Middle of Writing with Claire Gibson

from The David Magee Show · host That Sounds Fun Network

Novelist Claire Gibson has spent years doing the part of writing no one sees—the showing up, the refining, the staying with it long before anyone pays attention. Now, with her novel Burst Into Song on the horizon, things are starting to move. This conversation lives in the long middle—the doubt, the quiet, the moments when it feels too hard. And why that’s often where the real work is happening. Gibson stayed with it long enough for the work to catch up. If you’re in the thick of it—still working, still waiting—this one’s for you.
