Canzine Portraits: Anne Emberline

With Canzine West fast approaching (this Sunday!), Broken Pencil wants to squeeze in a few more introductions before the festivities kick off. Meet Anne Emberline: a graphic designer, blogger, writer and producer and facilitator of zines and zine culture via workshops and her own tiny collections of stories called “Pinch.” Anne is also an aspiring novelist with a “top secret project” in the works.

As a writer of both flash-fiction and novel-length projects, Broken Pencil asked Anne to describe her approach to the vastly different genres:

“The actual writing process is pretty much the same between the two, but because novels take forever to write, I use all sorts of systems to keep me going. I always have an extensive plan so there’s something concrete to hold onto while the story is still a slimy, wiggly mess. I also have a progress-tracking system that helps me feel like I’m getting somewhere when the finish line is still years away. And I have a writing buddy to I meet with so I can gripe about all the ways I’m getting butt-kicked by whatever section I’m working on at the time.But with flash fiction? I can just write it! It only takes a day or two, so I never make a plan or track my progress. I just do it.”
