Whenever I have time or when I’m at home I get to write but it’s about balancing a lot of hats. But right now, it means going out to teach students and attending a lot of department meetings. I would just love to just stay home on Zoom and put on a top and put on my pants, maybe. A lot of the time, I go to class in person, so I actually have to put on pants. I currently teach creative reading at the University of Winnipeg. If I could just wake up every day, put on my pajamas, and sit in front of a blank screen. JFG: Are you writing full-time these days? Or are you doing something else as well? You might be broke and you might have insomnia. So when you publish a book, you will just be very busy.

I don’t think I’ve slept since 2018! I’m very lucky if I get five hours of sleep at night. I would say my life is a lot busier, I sleep less. People ask you to do a lot of things like readings or interviews and it’s not all paid, so you just get a lot more things to do. LW: It’s true! I get ten times more emails than I did before. JFG: (laughing) No, don’t ruin our dreams! What happens is that you are just busier! Well, it’s funny because people always think that when you publish a book, your life will dramatically change. Lindsay Wong (LW): Thank you very much for having me here and it’s great to meet in person (on Zoom).

JF Garrard (JFG): Welcome Lindsay! Before we start talking about Tell Me Pleasant Things About Immortality, can you tell us how life has changed after publishing The Woo-Woo?
