Cathy Day<\/p><\/div>\n

Cathy Day is the newest member of Ball State\u2019s Creative Writing faculty in the Department of English.\u00a0 She is the author of two books.\u00a0 Her most recent work is Comeback Season: How I Learned to Play the Game of Love<\/em><\/a> (Free Press, 2008), part memoir about life as a single woman and part sports story about the Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl season. Her first book was The Circus in Winter<\/em><\/a> (Harcourt, 2004), a fictional history of her hometown. I had the opportunity to sit down with Professor Day and talk with about what kind of research goes into her writing, the influence of her hometown on her craft, and writing in different genres.<\/p>\n

Since environment seems to be a great inspiration for you, can you tell us about your hometown\u2014Peru, Indiana?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My town was winter quarters for a circus at the turn of the century. There was a guy in the town named Ben Wallace who was a livery stable owner and he got this notion to buy a circus. When the circus was sold, the people who traveled with the circus ended up settling in Peru because it was the closest thing they knew to a home. Some fairly famous circus folk that settled there ended up training their kids how to be performers, and so these kids put on a circus.<\/p>\n

When I went to college, people would ask me where I was from and I\u2019d tell them the story of Peru and they\u2019d say, \u201cWow! That\u2019s really interesting.\u201d The thing about being from a town is you think it\u2019s boring because it\u2019s always around you. That\u2019s been a big thing for my writing and teaching: trying to encourage people to look at the places they\u2019re from for their material. It\u2019s usually all there.<\/p>\n

How did you research The Circus in Winter<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent the first five or six years reading circus history books. I would be inspired by a photograph or a factoid, and let the story go from there. I think fiction writers research in a very different way than nonfiction writers in that I didn\u2019t have to feel bound by the facts. I would flip through a book or look through a microfilm for something that would catch my interest and go from there. There\u2019s this thing a friend of mine calls \u201cthe atrophy of writing\u201d where if you\u2019re looking, as I did, at this massive body of information you kind of pick through it and don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to be interesting.\u00a0 You just have to trust that the stuff that matters to you will rise to the top and the rest of it will fall away. It\u2019s really overwhelming to look at all that stuff and think, how am I going to get all that in there? And the answer is you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

CiW<\/em><\/strong> is being adapted as a musical by the Ball State University Department of Theatre & Dance, slated to be performed as part of their 2011-2012 season. What\u2019s it like as an author to have your work adapted into another medium?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s surreal. To actually have a story that\u2019s in your head tangible is awesome, but it\u2019s also very weird. It\u2019s really moving that they\u2019ve created songs, a whole different medium to convey the themes of my book. One thing I was incredibly impressed by was that those songs were very faithful to what I was trying to say in the book. I call them the \u201ctruths of my heart,\u201d coming out of someone\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n

You also have a memoir out, Comeback Season: How I Learned to Play the Game of Love. <\/em>Can you talk about your experiences writing memoir rather than fiction?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The thing I loved about writing Comeback Season<\/em> was that it helped me learn to write a novel. To a certain point when you\u2019re writing nonfiction, the plot\u2019s already there, you just have to pick what parts to use. It\u2019s a bit like being a documentary filmmaker and you shoot a ton of footage and then you have to go to the editing booth and figure out what to cut.<\/p>\n

Is there anything you\u2019d like to say to your new students at Ball State?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since Circus in Winter<\/em> came out I\u2019ve been trying to come back here as often as I can to kind of give back to Indiana. When I was young, I didn\u2019t know how to become a writer. I didn\u2019t know how to be an artist or to live the life that I wanted because there was absolutely no one in my hometown who lived the way I wanted to live. I left for twenty years and now I want to be that person I would have loved to meet when I was a kid, to be that person to say, \u201cThat\u2019s interesting. You should write about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
