My gosh, I think this line, "I also needed to be in a place in my life where I felt very stable in order to go to the crazy places you have to go to write fiction." Is the one that will get me through my own midlife writing day as I struggle to finish my WIP draft. Great interview!
Now l want to get Daisy's book And yours, Sarah! My daughter went to Dartmouth and she has all sorts of feelings/experiences from that time -- I'm sure she and l would both find these riveting. Thanks for this!
Such a great interview. Daisy's novel is on my Kindle, ready for my summer reading as it's been on TBR since last year (when I was too busy finishing my own novel to get to read as much as I like). I love that you are doing this Midlife Author series, Sarah. Thank you!
Great interview and I always love your book recommendations, Sarah. I'm a fan of campus novels so delighted to have this list to choose from. Also grateful for the warning about the more melodramatic ones!
So happy to have found this interview with Daisy — and to have discovered your great newsletter in the process, Sarah! I am a huge fan of Daisy and her work. She introduced me to the Gateless Writing Academy, of which I am enrolled now. I’m writing my first novel in no small part because of Daisy. 🩵
Great interview! I look forward to reading more of your work, Sarah!
Wonderful! And I'm a fan of Daisy's work too! I've never taken a Gateless workshop but have heard such good things about it. Sending good wishes for your novel manuscript!

This was true for me, too, Sharon! And congrats on getting closer to the end of your draft!

Oh, good, and thanks! And yes, so many feelings from that time! Dartmouth is an evocative and beloved and problematic place.
It certainly is all of those!
So many memories and emotions from that time at Dartmouth.
so many feelings!! Thanks for recommending the books to your daughter!
That’s wonderful to hear! I hope you and your daughter enjoy both books.
Great interview.
Thank you, Alice! I loved Daisy’s take on finding her way with writing.
Thanks for sharing!
Just added it to my summer list!
Oh, good! I think it would make a great summer read!
Can’t wait to check it out!

Thank you, Amy! I loved her take on writing and midlife! Also loved My Last Innocent Year—good summer reading choice!
LOVE this one! So much I relate to here.
Same for me! I love the way she puts things—straightforward but empowering.

Thanks for the good words, Ann! Somehow I'm not surprised that you're a fan of campus novels! I too am a fan of them.

Now I must read her books. Thanks for a great interview!
