What consumes a writer’s time, energy and passion from the moment they rise till the time it comes to return to bed? How do they divide their time and decide when to write, when to travel, when to research, when to pursue other interests like translating, editing, teaching? Where do they find time for family and friends time, and where do they find fallow time after their creative outbursts? Writers are multi-taskers in a 24/7 digital age, and in this gathering The Bookworm invites winner of the Lu Xun award, Lu Min; award-winning novelist and screenwriter Shuang Xuetao; prolific Italian novelist, short story writer and editor Paolo Colagrande; and Lithuanian poet and literary journal editor Marius Burokas, to discuss their approach to their craft and how they manage their writing lives.
