Here's my official bio--the one you'll find on my book jackets: Margot Berwin is the author of two novels. Scent of Darkness and Hothouse Flower and the Nine Plants of Desire. Her work has been translated into 19 languages. She received her MFA from the New School in 2005. Margot lives in NYC-forever and always. And here's a little bit more to go on: Writing is an active practice for me. Especially when I'm working on a first draft. I like to walk around my kitchen, drink, think, listen to music, record my own voice saying the lines that one day I'll put down on paper or on my computer--whichever mood strikes me. Music is really important to me when I'm starting a new book. It can give me mood and place and feeling and motivation. Just to keep things simple I'll put this bio in real-time and tell you what I'm listening to now (or in the last half-hour or so). It's noon as I'm writing this and I'm listening to Alabama Shakes-How Many More Times. This song is great! Before that I was listening to Hold On by the same band. I don't really know this band but I heard about them and right now I'm liking them A LOT. Before that it was Ryan Adams, What Sin Replaces Love. And Lucinda Williams, Blessed. Awesome sound. So that was my hour. That and writing and tweeting. How was yours?
