Most working writers agree that there is one quality above all needed to make it in the business: persistence. The Mad Writers invited the legendary Cat Rambo over to talk persistence and writing. From her days at Johns Hopkins through to keeping up writing a short story a week after Clarion West and all the way to her days working in SFWA. Cat Rambo is a writer, teacher, SFWA president and previously secretary. Generous in her encouragement of new writers and brilliant in her turn of prose, she can be found at catrambo.com Recommended reading: Cat's recommendation: Lovecraft Country: A Novel by Matt Ruff Tim's recommendation: Definitely Maybe (Neversink) by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky Jay's recommendation: The Art of Language Invention: From Horse-Lords to Dark Elves, the Words Behind World-Building by David J Peterson Nina's recommendation: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye Please support Mad Writers Union by reviewing it on iTunes or Stitcher!
