“Unearthing Shadows: Kim Liao Reveals the Haunting Secrets Behind ‘Where Every Ghost Has a Name'”
Once this book was finished, I had a real sense of creative completion. Even if it never got published, I could finally move on with my life and write something else. And publication is a whole separate process to the writing process. So it’s good to try to separate the two ideas — writing/finishing the book and publishing the book. I have a novel in a drawer. Most published authors have at least one (if not several) unpublished books in drawers. Working on a project for a long time means that you and the project will grow and shift. So you may find yourself completely rewriting it, or creating a new structure or frame, or a new way to relate to the project. That’s not a bad thing. For me, this book and I grew up together.
