A year's a long time, but it also flickers past in no time at all.
Feist
I was grateful to be away from all that familiarity, to have a chance to do something anonymously.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
Feist
I think that's more a reflection of the fact I've never been a student of any particular school of writing, or even listening.
