If you missed my appearance on John Hruby’s Author To Author Convo live last month, the replay is now available on YouTube. It was a fun (and rare) opportunity for me to talk about writing separate from Scrivener (though we did touch on Scrivener a bit too, of course).
One of my favorite things was getting to discuss the importance of figuring out how YOU best create. As a pantser who spent years trying to contort myself into the plotter I thought I had to be to be a good writer, I’m trying to get the message out.
We also discussed how to “fill the well” so you can keep writing, why story structure is helpful even if you don’t plot, and more.
If any of that sounds interesting, check it out and let me know what you think.
What are you doing on Saturday? If you’re not sure yet, consider joining me live as I take the hot seat on middle grade author and life/creativity coach John J. Hruby’s Author to Author Convo series!
I’m not sure I’m as confident as he seems to think I am (see below), but I love talking about writing almost as much as John loves ellipses…
Are you ready to join us? To learn more about what John has planned for the interview, and get the RSVP link, keep reading. I hope to see you there!
P.S. Scrivener peeps: The Scrivener 3 for Windows Compile Mastery course opens this week! Expect another post from me very, very soon. 😉
There is a solidness … a quality of ownership … that Gwen has about being a writer and an author. I don't sense it as ego. She is kind, fun, and generous. I look forward to you meeting her.
To me, it seems like she “knows who she is” and she's comfortable in her skin.
This is EXACTLY the type of author I want to talk to … and learn from.
And, this makes 100% sense to me. Gwen has written seven books. SEVEN. I look forward to our Author to Author Convo and Q & A on Saturday, July 17th. I invite you to join us for a lively and in-depth conversation about writing and the spirit of creativity.
I anticipate we will have an opportunity to learn a lot. I look forward to exploring how she:
Taps into inspiration (year after year … book after book).
Gets herself unstuck from procrastination & distractions … so she can write.
Creates and talks to her characters … and do they talk back?
Plots her stories or do they just “come to her” … or a little of both?
How she got started … what gave her the confidence to write her first book?
What keeps her going when times get tough?
I look forward to asking her: What is the best writing advice she has ever heard that continues to serve her today?
