John Grisham on writing, leaving law, and what to do with all the money
It’s a full hour, but there’s lots in here you’ll be interested in. I particularly liked hearing a fellow ex-lawyer talk about whether he’d ever want to go back in a courtroom (solidarity, bro!), and also liked hearing what he does with his money (hint: there’s a lot of good to be done in the world when you’re making millions). And is he a happy man, enjoying the life of a writer? Watch and see:
It’s been awhile since I read any Grisham(got tired of the “soapbox fiction” he was putting out for awhile but totally respect the guy for owning up to that)but this talk makes me reconsider checking him out again.
Thanks,Robin,for putting this video up. Oh,and if anyone would like to win a free set of books this weekend(not Grisham,I’m afraid-I’m giving away Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty the werewolf series),just leave a comment on my blog. Shameless promotion brought to you by Ovaltine(a crummy commercial?!)
Lady T, sounds like a great giveaway! Hope everyone goes over there and enters.
The Pelican Brief was one of the books that made me want to be a writer, but made me think that I could never be.
Really enjoyed the interview. Inspirational, especially when he explains that he doesn’t do character development because that isn’t his skill. Knowing your skill is important!
