Like Thea Kronborg in The Song of the Lark, Cather knew she would never find fulfillment unless she left her home. She knew that she had to leave the prairie in order to fulfill her compelling desire for broader experiences and for art. As long as her parents were alive, she made repeated trips back home to see them, and each time she crossed the Missouri River, she said, “the very smell of the soil tore to pieces.” As a young woman in Red Cloud and Lincoln, however, she was chafed by narrow attitudes and limited opportunities. ![]() That ambivalence is the central tension in her novels.

I’ve had a lot of different jobs over the years. What jobs did you have on your way to becoming a published author? Is there a certain work experience that has shaped your writing or provided inspiration? I had a few possible ideas, but I made most of it up as I wrote-which meant I had a lot of rewriting to do. Dead Boy was actually unusual for me because I didn’t know what was going to happen or how the story was going to end. ![]() ![]() I don’t like outlines, but I usually write a one-page synopsis before I write much of the actual manuscript. I always start with chapter one, and although I’ll jot down notes for later scenes, I never write chapters out of order. Tell me a little bit about your writing process: Do you outline? Start at the beginning? The middle? The end? The importance of having true friends who are always there for you-and of being a good friend i n return-runs throughout the story.

We only read the books that you have written and/or illustrated. In Term 3 of this year, we had a Stephen Michael King festival. At Story Time, the children get so involved in the story and we ponder upon so many things that sometimes we meander off the track talking about this and that, and then we come back again, each story is an adventure and a journey. At Circle Time, the children tell us which songs they want to sing, and we sing them. The adults provide the structure, and the children tell us what they want to do, and how they want to do it. We don’t have any pre-set art and craft activities, the children get what they want out of the cupboards. We have such a special playgroup where the children are mostly in charge.
