Know why you want an agent, and know your goals. Here are some of ‘the usual suspects’, at coffee later at Little Gnome book shop.Writing#shareyourstory#writeforkids#pitch
15.01.2022 Letters to a Young Writer by Carol Edgarian Be generous. I mean, be generous on the page. Be discriminating with your characters, yes, but give to your reader with both handsgive like a lover. Don’t hold back. Don’t get tricky on your reader. Don’t save that good bit for later when things get dull. Above all, don’t mess with your reader’s heart. Woo your reader with riches; woo her with everything you’ve got. Your characters, your words, your story, your song: they are the coins in your pocket with which you pay for the honor of entertaining a reader. Spend them wisely. Spend them with joy. Spend them with love. Spend them as if you want to win the heart of your reader forever. As the great writers have won you. Yes writers! Be generous of heart! Continue writing!
06.01.2022 As a writer, we need Purpose, and Patience. This was a nice prompt to begin a writing exercise I did a couple of days ago. You can start with any aspect of the picture. Wishing you all serenity and good days
05.01.2022 Attended great workshop at WriteLinks - yesterday with children’s author illustrator Caroline Magellan. Caroline told us that as a child she was ‘inspired by voices of illustrators of picture books. We also had a lesson on watercolours, using paint brush on wet and dry surfaces and the different effects this creates.#writelinks#children’spicturebooks#gettingstarted#art#storytelling#images#feeling#inspired#creativity#art
