In this interview, I talked with Curtis Chen, author of "Waypoint Kangaroo," in which a superpowered secret agent faces his toughest mission yet: vacation.
We talked about:
- How Curtis used NaNoWriMo to help him get started on "Waypoint Kangaroo"
- Why he uses a very old word processor called a Alpha Smart Neo
- What it took to write and get his first novel published and how different that usually is from writing and publishing a second novel
- How and why Curtis wrote a 500-word flash fiction piece every week for almost five years
- What Curtis got from attending conferences, including Clarion West and Viable Paradise
- How Curtis dramatically changed his life to be able to seriously pursue writing
- What Curtis thinks are good short fiction markets based on his work as the secretary of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America
