Interview with Vincent St. Clare

Published 2023-01-18.
When did you first start writing?
About the age of fifteen or sixteen, which was around 2006-2007. Before that I'd dabbled very occasionally in poetry, and had made a few half-assed attempts at writing stories.
Describe your desk
Wherever I can lay down with a laptop, or sit upright with a cup of coffee.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The prospect of happiness. I mean "real" happiness: one's innermost potential. The idea that I can endure, and if I do so properly, I can "attain".
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Reading, mostly. Thinking... sometimes too much.
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Writing is catharsis. For the essayist especially, writing is a method of talking to oneself (and sometimes even "yelling" at yourself) in a way that yields self-discovery, and (better yet) self-actualization.
What are you working on next?
Most likely a novella, or book of short stories.
