![]() ![]() It took me about a decade to write Memoirs of a Geisha. I decided to stick with it and start all over from scratch. What I really think makes a writer is something I discovered along the way, but it’s not talent…the real trick is persistence, that’s what really makes a writer.Īt some point, you’re going to hit this moment where you’re going to think ‘I can’t do this.’ And you’re going to have to get past that. I guess a part of me thought to be a writer you had to have ‘talent’, and I didn’t have any reason to imagine I had ‘talent’. What advice would you give campers who are interested in writing as a career? I always liked writing, but I’d never imagined I’d be a writer. I’m charmed to hear it has remained so unchanged. I have such fond memories of Camp Sea Gull. It’s a great tradition, it was great fun. I remember Wyatt in his golf cart, and whenever you saw him you would say ‘Ahoy there, Wyatt!’ and he would throw fireballs and sugar dadies. I feel like I learned a lot while I was there. There was always something you could learn or do beyond what you had already done. What lessons, values of memories from Camp do you carry with you? There was always a challenge. ![]() I spent four summers starting in Cabin 3 and ending in Cabin 30-something. I was the youngest and followed at age 8. How did you first arrive at Camp from Tennessee? My two older brothers attended Sea Gull and my older sister attended Seafarer. Current Profession and Title/Years in role: Author, Memoirs of a Geisha ![]()
