I know I mentioned this the day Joanna put it up on YouTube, but I’m going to mention it again because today she’s putting it up on her blog, The Creative Penn. Joanna Penn has interviewed me on video! Go visit her! She’s providing a written explication of the points she and I discuss, as well as the link to the interview, in which you may watch me wave my hands with great enthusiasm and make ‘doot, doot, doot’ noises in describing the manner in which I expect writers to design their stories.
In an impromptu moment, Joanna even gives me her one-line synopsis of her new novel, and I show her how to develop it into a gripping plot. See how developmental editing works on the grand scale!
There’s also a great deal of arm gesturing to describe character arc, pointing to show where the solution to all the world’s ills lies (right below the camera, as it turns out), as well as my “You’ve stumped me” face for discussing Scrivener.
Not to mention the ghost in the rocking chair.
Please join us for The Art and Craft of Story with Victoria Mixon at The Creative Penn.
