Clyde Edgerton: Some inspiration found in O’Connor’s work

A lot of people are able to be creative and receive inspiration from within their daily lives. When I was getting my master’s in creative writing, Clyde Edgerton impressed me with where he received his inspiration from and his writing process. It seemed he could find a scene–and write it–based on a simple act, such as a chair breaking. Alternatively, he has the ability to process the characters and work of other writers, such as Flannery O’Connor, one of his favorites.
