Scott Lasser Books: July 2009
http://scottlasser.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 2, 2009. Writers’ Conferences and Politics. There’s nothing quite like being in a room full of people who actually care about books. It’s why I like writers’ conferences, though in truth I’ve only ever been to one: the Aspen Writers’ Conference, which takes place right here in my adopted hometown. If you caught half the events you received enough literary wisdom for a masters degree, all of it from an unbelievably talented group of writers. Couldn’t it at least have been a casino?

Saturday, December 24, 2011. New Year, New Book. Yep, after a 20-month hiatus, I’m back to blogging. The reason is simple: there’s a new novel in the works. In fact, it’s pretty much done. W.W. Norton will publish it on July 2nd, 2012. As you can see from the attached cover, the title is Say Nice Things About Detroit. It tells the story of a man who starts his life over by moving back to (where else? Detroit. You can get a full description on Norton’s Website. Till next time, Happy Holidays.

Scott Lasser Books: April 2010
http://scottlasser.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. So Much for New Year’s Resolutions. Way back on the second day of the year I promised to write a blog a month. Here it is, almost May, and I’m just getting to blog #2. So it goes. In the last blog I asked if a writing degree (MFA) was necessary for a writer. The answer is—obviously—no. Not that the degree hurts—it also guarantees nothing. Writers write. Period. Again, so it goes. Another assignment I just completed was an article for. On a happy note,. The Year That Follows.

Scott Lasser Books: New Year’s Resolutions, or, So, You Want to Write
http://scottlasser.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-years-resolutions-or-so-you-want-to.html
Saturday, January 2, 2010. New Year’s Resolutions, or, So, You Want to Write. This year, then, goal number one is to finish that novel draft by 3/31/10. (Writing ‘10’ is weird; apparently, I’ve gotten old.) The other goals I’m keeping to myself, but you can believe me when I say I’ve written them down. Frankly, you can’t really call it a goal if you don’t write it down—such is our capacity to lie to ourselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Loaded Questions with Kelly Hewitt.

Scott Lasser Books: February 2009
http://scottlasser.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Writing is not performance, not really, but writers are sometimes called upon to perform, live, in person. I’m glad of it. Sure, it’s what’s on the page that matters, but a writer’s physical presence can bring added attention to the words. And, like many, I’m curious about the person behind it all. As performers, writers are a far-ranging bunch, from self-described ‘hams’ like TC Boyle to recluses like Cormac. As I drove, Cammie read aloud from the title story of Boyle’s...
