Stewart Copeland talks writing, his memoir, and the Police: My guest post at WordWebbing

November 3, 2009

in Ye Olde Writing Life

Day 3 of NahNoWriMo, and already I’m behind on my official unofficial word count—but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing.

A couple of months ago, the Friday Project offered bloggers the opportunity to pose three questions to Stewart Copeland as part of their Strange Things Happen advertising blitz. Three questions isn’t much, but I wasn’t going to turn down the chance to ask a bit about Copeland’s writerly side, so I did what any self-respecting interviewer would do: I cheated. Luckily Copeland responded anyway.

(Insert drummer-stereotype/inability-to-count joke here.)

Talented story-spinner Annetta Ribken has been so kind as to host the interesting Q & A results on her website, WordWebbing:

Q & A with Stewart Copeland: On writing, his memoir, and why the early days of the Police didn’t make the cut

Netta is spunky, sassy, and irreverent in all the right ways, and I’m honored to be appearing on her site. Be sure to head over there and say hello and check out what Copeland said about his background as a writer and what he says is the real reason he omitted the early days of the Police from his book.

Many thanks to editor Robin Harvie at the Friday Project for the assistance.
