Eugene Cross is the author of Fires of Our Choosing<\/i><\/a>, published by Dzanc Books<\/a> in 2012. His stories have appeared in Narrative Magazine<\/i><\/a> (which named him one of \u201c20 Best New Writers\u201d), American Short Fiction<\/i><\/a>, Story Quarterly<\/i><\/a>, and TriQuarterly<\/i><\/a>, among other publications. He is the recipient of scholarships from the Chautauqua Writers\u2019 Festival and the Bread Loaf Writers\u2019 Conference. He currently lives in Chicago where he teaches in the Fiction Department at Columbia College, Chicago.<\/p>\n

The following interview was conducted by Broken Plate 2013 student faculty member Chaylee Brock.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First of all, congratulations on your first book publication. Can you tell me a bit about that process and how it felt to see this collection published?<\/b><\/p>\n

The process was a long one, but I feel as though that\u2019s the norm for most writers, especially short story writers. I started by submitting the stories individually to different literary journals both in print and online. There was a lot of rejection along the way, but that which does not kill us, right? Eventually, I had what felt like a book, and I started submitting it to various contests. Dzanc awarded me their 2009 Prize for Excellence in Literary Fiction and Community Service and ultimately accepted the book for publication. It was, and continues to be, a really humbling experience.<\/p>\n

When did you start writing fiction, and what and\/or who helped point you in that direction?<\/b><\/p>\n

I started writing as a kid. Fiction, poetry, movie ideas: all of it pretty horrendous. I gave it up for a while and didn\u2019t come back to it until I was a sophomore at The University of Pittsburgh and I took an Intro to Creative Writing class. I was really struck for the first time by the power of stories, the way they can make you see the world in a new way, or feel something you hadn\u2019t even anticipated. That was it for me. I was hooked.<\/p>\n

Some writers have \u201crituals\u201d they go through when they set out to write. Is there a specific pattern that you follow when sitting down to write?<\/b><\/p>\n

My rituals vary, which I suppose doesn\u2019t make them true rituals, but one thing has stayed constant ever since I began writing. I need to be alone and in silence. I wish this wasn\u2019t the case as I\u2019d love to write in coffee shops or at the bar with a cold one in front of me, but I\u2019ve tried it and to little avail. There\u2019s something about solitude and silence that really helps the process for me. I\u2019m easily distracted (my fianc\u00e9 might suggest that I have a slight case of ADD), and so I try eliminating those distractions up front.<\/p>\n

I also like to write at night, listen to music before I begin, and there are even some magical sweatpants and coffee mugs that come into play, but none of those are as important to my process as being alone in a quiet place.<\/p>\n

In the story titled \u201cFires of Our Choosing,\u201d there are brief comedic moments (such as the story of Ear-Dick\u2019s name) that appear within the darker elements of the story. What is the purpose of incorporating lighter moments?<\/b><\/p>\n

I like to temper the violence of some of these stories with lighter moments, in part, for the contrast. Whether it\u2019s gallows humor or dark comedy or just plain twisted, I like the idea of the two elements, humor and violence, coexisting. It\u2019s often the case in real life, as well.<\/p>\n

How much of this book is based on personal experiences? Are any of the characters based on people you know?<\/b><\/p>\n

I would say that much of the book comes from real life experiences and people I know. However, most of those events and characters are just starting points and none of the stories in the book are accurate renderings of anyone I\u2019ve ever met or anything I\u2019ve ever done. I\u2019ll hear something or meet someone and it\u2019ll just stick with me. By the time it ever gets to the point where it finds its way to the page, the actual person or event has changed so dramatically as to be unrecognizable…I hope.<\/p>\n

What did you learn about yourself and\/or the writing process while working on Fires of Our Choosing<\/i>?<\/b><\/p>\n

I learned just how hard writing can be. I\u2019ve read and\/or revised most of the stories in the book hundreds of times…really, and by the actual publication date I was exhausted by some of them. However, I knew that was the only way to really get them right. So much of writing is persistence and hard work as opposed to god-given talent and that was reassuring for me. I don\u2019t know how much innate ability I have, but I know I can work hard.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to young writers?<\/b><\/p>\n

I would say to not be too hard on yourself, but to keep at it. Sounds simple, but it\u2019s true. The writers I know who really excel are those who find a balance between life and the page. \u00a0Experience things and travel and meet people, but also write. Put down your thoughts; don\u2019t get discouraged when it doesn\u2019t come out the way you\u2019d like it to. There\u2019s maturity and revision involved and a great deal of questionable material needs to be written, both before and after you start writing what you consider to be \u201cgood\u201d stories. Be passionate about it and read like crazy. It\u2019s the surest way to improve.<\/p>\n
