New Christa Faust Interview

Christa Faust, via her website, has linked us to her latest interview. Always entertaining.

Money quote regarding a writing career (re: her novelizations of movies):
You can spend the rest of your life going to writing classes and critique circles, tweaking and polishing your great American novel that no one will ever read, or you can bang out 95,000 words in six sleepless weeks and make your bones as a pro. That was the best education I ever had.
On research:
Forget the damn internet, the best research for any writer can be achieved simply by being a good listener. If you're respectful and willing to listen, you can get almost anyone to open up about almost anything.
