Listening to writers share their stories gives us the special gift of learning how they strive to master the craft and how they balance life. At the SCBWI Prairie Writer’s Day, I asked writers how they stay motivated… inspired… and keep writing.
Seven writers joined us to talk about personal life events, choices, and a powerful desire to document and make sense out of an event by putting it down on paper.
Our guests are Laura Ruby, Carmela Martino, Aliess Kime, Barbara Rosenstock, Juliet Bond, Elizabeth Sale and Karen Halvorsen Schreck.
Listening to them is exciting. They offer plenty of ideas to energize writers interested in undertaking a new challenge…and the motivation to take all of the ideas and energy and sit down, be still....and write.
What personal situation in your life sparked a story? Where you concerned that the personal information was.....too personal? How did you resolve that in your writing?
