3Ws – Allison Winn Scotch

December 4, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, author interviews, books are awesome, writing

What do you create?

Books, five of them, six if you include the one I’m wrestling with right now. (So…five and a half?) I also create lots of tweets, though fewer than I used to (social media burn out is real, yo), and celebrity interviews. Though I’m not sure I really “create” those, so much as get to chat with actors I really admire and write up our conversations. If that’s considered “work,” count me in.

Why do you create?

Gosh, what a profound question! Hey, I thought this was going to be easy! I don’t know, to be honest, other than I think I’ve always had these…voices in my head that I need to get out. Okay, that doesn’t sound right. What I mean is: I think I’ve always had a need to express myself and emotions and words in (figurative) three-dimensional ways: conversation or, say, letters to exes (that I keep for myself) or just your day to day interactions never satisfied my imagination or need to communicate. Even as a kid, I was writing and singing and concocting stories in my head, and I guess I’ve just been really fortunate that I’ve able to translate this to an actual career.

What do you consume?

Music. A lot of it. I think if I hadn’t become a novelist, I’d be a songwriter or even a radio DJ. I’m not a music snob: I’ll listen to (and enjoy) everything from One Direction/Taylor Swift to my Sirius alternative station (love it – it’s one of my go-tos) to country (ditto). I’ll procrastinate my work for the day scouring Spotify or Twitter for new indie/random bands, and love striking gold when I discover one I want to play on repeat. I also consume a lot of TV, even though I’m a big reader too. There’s some amazing storytelling happening on television right now, and I’m not ashamed to admit that this medium makes me as happy as anything. I try to watch when I workout, so I’m not a glutton, but a post-dinner show is pretty great too.

One of the people I keep, my dear friend @bakirkwo One of the people I keep, my dear friend @bakirkwood — who I’ve known since my freshman year at Ithaca — who read several drafts of my book about April over the years and kept telling me how much she believed in me — printed out the coloring sheets and made some art with her daughter Abby! (Brenda said they didn’t need to be included in the giveaway, but wanted to share). It made me so happy to see their covers! I’d love to see yours too! And if you tag me when you post or email me photos of what you create with the cover design (info at allielarkinwrites dot com) I’ll enter you in the giveaway for a signed paperback of The People We Keep, a book mug from @erinkillianpottery & some coffee from @caffe.appassionato! Link to download the coloring sheet is in my bio. Thank you so much, Abby & Brenda! Love you! ❤️
