Storytelling as sandbox and sandcastle | #88
Hello, welcome to the Letters for Creatives newsletter. Take a look at some writing prompts, the archive and newsletter directory to find what you need now. There is a 7-day free trial across all the subscriber-only newsletters. If not, subscribe for free to receive tips and resources on writing, creativity, Interview With an Artist and Interview with a Creator series. This week challengeTo start fresh and get back to the routine of creating and writing next year, there would be a creative or writing challenge every other week. The first 5 challenges are going to be sent to you in the coming weeks in 2023. The remaining would be sent to paying subscribers for the rest of the year. I would feature some of you in the letters. Just hit reply and send me what you are writing or creating with my challenge. Challenge 4:
If you are an artist or creator and would like to be featured in either interview series, hit reply. Writers are also welcome as I have featured poets and fiction writers at the start of the series. If you have any suggestion who I should interview, let me know. Masks, Identities, and the True SelfI have been feeling restricted when I feel the way people project their ideas of me. But I have been trying my best not to let them affect as much and embrace who I am. Not everyone would be your best friends or die-hard friends. Not everything will last forever, good or bad. So I am not going to take anything for granted or put myself into a dead-end mindset and think that something bad will last unbearably long.
Erin also included some podcast and newsletter recommendations. Most of them are about business and mindfulness. If you like reading this newsletter, share with your friends on Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or Email to help me reach more people. Have a peek with the free trial if you are interested. Tip me a coffee to support me writing these letters. Sandbox and sandcastleWhat Dee suggests below is … Those of us who write fiction can always add, subtract or rebuild the story we are working on. It is even a must if we want a complete story without plot holes. However, it is a difficult to accomplish. When we start a new writing project, it means that we start the process all over again. Character building, world building, story arc, plot, challenges that characters have to go through. First draft that we want to throw out of the window. Second draft where we fix the plot holes and other things that you can think of. Copy edit. Kind of like the process of having a baby and giving birth, except that the book is left on its own after the first year of publication. Then you repeat the process on your book 2, 3, 4 and so on. I haven’t publish anything but only been featured in anthologies. So the above description have not been what you have experienced. If you want to share your process, hit the comments.
