SWRT 158 | Read Like a Writer
Do we always read like a writer? What happens when we slow down and pay attention to the books we are reading? Does reading like a writer destroy your ability to read for enjoyment? We dig into our current reads and how our reading benefits our writing.
SWRT 157 | Subtext
What is subtext? And why is it important? Why is it so tricky to work on, or define? What effect does subtext have on the reader? We dive into an example and then talk about the ways we think you can learn how to write better subtext.
SWRT 156 | Keeping a Series Exciting
How do you keep a story going over a long series without tiring out characters and readers? Is this limited to a single genre? What ways can you use innovation, and plot elements to keep the reader engaged?
SWRT 155 | POV-Narrative Lightning Round
How do you keep readers from skipping point of view chapters? What if you have to cut a point of view out of your story? And how do you switch from your narrator to your character’s point of view? This week we take some time to answer some questions that have popped up in our Facebook group. If you have a question, make sure to join us there and ask away!
I'm Alida
I help people express their gifts to the world.
I do not believe in formulas. I believe that the stories we are compelled to tell the world make demands on us, and it is our privilege to meet those demands in order to reach the most people in the most authentic and compelling way possible.
