Memoir deep dive #8
Here’s what I learned from The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls:
-When you leave out thoughts and feelings it evokes big emotions from the reader.
-Action and dialogue drive a story—not thoughts and feelings.
-If you want to drop a bomb, bury it. Make it subtle, within a sentence. Say it and move on.
-A long list can evoke big emotions.
-Include moments of resolution, when something difficult has occurred that has made me determined and focused about myself or my future.
-Want a strong ending? End with a callback metaphor.
