Enjoyable discussion!

I liked hearing one of my favorite authors, Connie Willis, discuss her writing and inspirations. I am now interested in reading books by Carrie Vaughn, whose books I've heard of but never read. I found it a little annoying that Connie talked over Carrie several times. I also wanted to heard more about Connie's non-time traveling books, but she didn't talk about them. I'll look for more interviews. This overall was an enjoyable listen and I'm glad it was free from Audible.

these authors made me want to hear their work

Having 2 authors interview each other was an innovative way to create interest in their writing. After listening to their conversation I went searching for one of their books to download. And I intend to listen to more!

Awesome to hear these authors sharing their experience

I love to hear about the experience of authors especially after reading several of their books. It's neat to see what similarities they share and also how different their personal journeys have been. I highly recommend reading their books andening to them talk about the ideas and inspiration behind the creation of those books.

Fascinating Discussion & Writing Perspecives

Two very smart, interesting writers discussing how they got that way, what they do now, and what they might did differently. Interesting discussion from start to finish.

And what are you doing next?

What would have made Connie Willis and Carrie Vaughn: A Conversation better?

They could discuss more about writing and how they get ideas. The best part was Willis' perspective on the importance of individuals in history. It would have been nice to hear more of why she held these views. Vaughn expressed no feelings about her subject matter. It's okay, but it sure could have been better. It felt a little uncomfortable - like this was the first time they had talked, which it couldn't have been.

Delightful!

What a surprise to find this. I enjoyed listening in on this great conversation about writing. It's so intelligent and entertaining. I hadn't thought of Connie Willis in years--I don't know why, but it seems I have some catching up to do with her books. I'll be checking into Carrie Vaughn's work, too.
