Q&A with Kirby Michael Wright, Question #5

Julia circa 1945

What’s the best part of writing for you? The most difficult?

The best part is having strangers tell you that your writing made a difference in their lives. One of my books led to a marriage proposal, I kid you not. Another good part is capturing the lives of people who made a difference to me in my life, such as classmates back in high school, my immediate family, and of course my grandmother.

The most difficult part is facing the truth, whether it be in myself as a child or as an adult or a member of my family. I mean, nobody really wants to talk stink about their family members, do they? Or themselves?
