In conjunction with The Poetics of Martial Arts, a Deep Cut event organised by Ethos Books and Littered With Books, local arts directory The A List reached out to me for an interview. The interview headed in an offbeat direction as I ended up talking more about martial arts training than writing in general.
Over the course of our email exchanges, certain misconceptions started to appear, such as the curiously misinformed notion many writers are influenced by martial arts. (Really? Who?) A comment was even floated at one point that a community of martial arts-practising local writers could exist. (Really? Where?) The correspondences went longer than expected, but I managed to disabuse the interviewer of her specious, and frankly fanciful, impressions of combat training. Not that I am an expert in damaging people, by any measure. If anything, I am more enthusiast than expert. Nevertheless, to read more about my thoughts on fighting and writing, check out the interview here. Or you could do one better and head down to the event at Littered With Books. Details here.
