I feel like it\u2019s this old thing mumbling inside of me. When I first started to write, in my twenties, I did associate poetry with being fucked up, and poetry definitely managed something for me\u2014the dissonance between the world just as we\u2019re being invited to enter it and that whole world inside of you and what to do with that gap. I had a mentally ill grandmother who I had, and have, a deep attachment to. She kind of mumbled and had a weird little West Ireland accent, and when I started to write I\u2019d swear it was her. I felt this <em>grrrrr<\/em>, like something inside of me that was not me. It\u2019s very weird\u2014I feel like I\u2019m working for Eileen or something, like I have this job being her performer, learning this argot of hers, finding it. But I think it\u2019s older than me and it\u2019s older than my grandmother.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_95003\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/smiley-1976.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-95003\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-95003\" class=\"wp-image-95003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/smiley-1976.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/smiley-1976.jpg 639w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/smiley-1976-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-95003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smiley in 1976, with her dog Canute.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6402\/the-art-of-fiction-no-229-jane-smiley\" target=\"_blank\">And in the Art of Fiction No. 229, our managing editor <strong>Nicole Rudick\u00a0<\/strong>interviews\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6402\/the-art-of-fiction-no-229-jane-smiley\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jane Smiley<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a creative state, then essentially things sort of coagulate and you enter a state of hyper\u00adconsciousness\u2014you can write for an hour or so, but it only seems like a few minutes because you\u2019re so concentrated on it. I\u2019ve experienced that a lot, which doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s no frustration, but I don\u2019t really remember the frustration very well. I remember more when the writing comes together. And I\u2019m willing to seek out that coming together. If I get frustrated, I\u2019ll go eat something, I\u2019ll go open another Diet Coke, I\u2019ll go the barn, I\u2019ll distract myself, and then the parts in my brain that were working click and I get an idea. I read an article about how to learn to play a musical instrument. You practice, practice, practice on Friday, then you walk away. And then when you sit down on Saturday, you\u2019re better. Not only because of all the practice, but also because of the walking away.
