This week in RoughDraft, we speak with melissabroder to mark the paperback release of her novel 'Milk Fed.' She'll also release a new poetry anthology, called 'Superdoom,' on August 10th. Here, discover all the elements that helped her get there.
JULIANA UKIOMOGBE: Describe your ideal writing atmosphere. What gets you in the mood?
MELISSA BRODER: Definitely not a desk. I prefer to write in places where I’m not supposed to be writing because then there’s less pressure. Less emphasis on perfection. When I lived in New York, I wrote poems on the subway. When I moved to Los Angeles in 2013, it was no longer safe to write in transit . So I began to dictate my work using Siri and the notes app. The line breaks disappeared and the language became more conversational. That’s how I started writing prose.
BRODER: I chain-chew nicotine gum. I haven’t written without nicotine since I was 16 . I’m unclear as to the exact impact of the gum on my writing because I’m never without it. But I think it’s about focus. Also, little doggy treats for keeping focused.BRODER: The internet destroyed my journaling. From private to public: a tale of reward-based conditioning and dopamine receptors.BRODER: I do it all, baby. Dictation for prose drafts. Typing for edits.
BRODER: How about I tell you some books I’ve read in the last year that I loved. I bet those are informing my work. Also, who doesn’t love a list?
