Never Carved in Stone: Letting Ideas Evolve
Manage episode 375184099 series 2770059
In our Idea Factory wrap-up, Jennie and I talk about the ways ideas need to change and evolve throughout the writing process—while you develop them and even in between drafts. Don’t let the idea take charge—the writer has to keep running the show.
Good news for memoir writers! Y’all probably know how much I love Jennie Nash’s Blueprint books. They really are the closest thing I’ve found to a guide for getting through draft after draft. I start with them, and I go back to them when I’m stuck. The Blueprints keep me on track and help me write the book I set out to write for the readers I hope to reach.
Her newest, Blueprint for a Memoir: How to Write a Memoir for the Marketplace is out now!
I think this Blueprint is Jennie’s best yet, with insights into story-telling that I’ll be using in all my work.
