Writer and now novelist Maxine Fawcett joined me to talk about her debut novel, ‘Everything Is Perfect’.
Topics discussed include:
- What sparked ‘Everything Is Perfect’.
- Deconstructing a ‘perfect’ marriage - tracing the history of a lifetime spent together with a partner - how it can be less a love story and more a life story.
- The process (and importance) of ‘writing scared’.
- Obsession - how it can form and how social media can enable it.
- And heaps more!
Thanks heaps to Maxine for chatting all things ‘Everything Is Perfect’ with me on the program!
