Watch Claudia Dey discuss her writing process

Claudia Dey (Stunt) recently discussed her writing process on the Writers' Confessions series.

'I think taxidermy is the perfect simile for the writing process in that you comb the wilds of your world, you find a beast. You enter into a darkened room with this beast. You scissor up the middle. You take out everything that could rot it and then you create a mannequin and you sew the skin back onto the mannequin.
