What are you working on? : Marianne Villanueva

Now posted in my series of interviews with writers about their current work, Marianne Villanueva, Philippine-American writer of short stories.

Plot has been the hardest thing for me to figure out. I could write for weeks, months, with just a voice coming at me, but it would end up pretty deadening. I still need to figure out events, circumstances, situations.

Then there's the wondering whether what I am writing is "true" -- true to my cultural background. As a Filipina writer I feel almost an obligation to write about my culture, but the longer I've lived in California the harder that becomes.
