Book Talk: Rachel Hauck
Listen to the episode with Rachel Hauck
Rachel Hauck is one of my dearest writing friends so it is always a treat to have her on Book Talk. I had such fun talking to her about her newest book Meet Me at the Starlight. We got all nostalgic about rollerskating and the place rollerskating rinks played in our growing-up years. Rachel’s process is a little different than mine. She likes to just keep writing and trust that the story will reveal itself. I’m not that trusting I guess!
With her books, she tends to write about the types of people that we don’t normally interact with. Princesses. Singers. Actors. She wants to take us into the life we don’t nomally live or look into. I think that’s part of what we love. If she were to give advice to her younger writing self, it would be to know her process and know that she will hate the book at one point but that it will be good eventually. Don’t get paralyzed there. Great advice for all of us!
She also loves writing groups because writing is a solitary life and Rachel needs the water cooler time. She likes hearing about the business and staying up on trends. There’s so much in this episode, y’all!
