Meghan Daum isn't a
Goodreads Author (yet), but she
does have a blog,
so here are some recent posts imported from
her feed.
Longreads recently linked to an interview I did with Steve Martin for The Believer several years ago. It reminded me what a fun conversation it was. Steve talked about his novels, his writing process, and that sweet spot of celebrity when you're "famous just right." He even played the banjo for me.

“Analyzing data from 79 men and women who wore inconspicuous devices that recorded some of their conversations over the course of four days, researchers from Washington University and the University of Arizona found a correlation between feelings of well-being and the amount of time spent talking every day. Moreover, the more substantive your conversations, the happier you're likely to be. In other words, heart-to-hearts trump small talk. (LA Times, "A lof of happy talk", March 11, 2010, A21.)”

“Also, I was coming up on my five year anniversary of owning the house, and if there's anything I've learned in five years, it's this: if a piece of your house falls off and you don't know what to do with it, throwing it in the trash and forgetting about it is a perfectly viable option.”

“Maybe learning how to be out in the big world isn't the epic journey everyone thinks it is. Maybe that's actually the easy part. The hard part is what's right in front of you. The hard part is learning how to hold the title to your very existence, to own not only property, but also your life.”
