Gail Tsukiyama

Description

In this uplifting lecture, bestselling author Gail Tsukiyama talks about how a novel grows from a mere idea, into a full strucutre. A novel, she explains, is not something you can rush. It comes when it wants to come, and sometimes the story you start to write will take a whole new direction of its own. Here, Gail describes her process of discovery, encouraging you never to be afraid to make mistakes and to write, not for an audience, but for yourself.

Here, you'll learn:

  • How a novel can grow out of your own culture
  • How to find your passion and hold onto it
  • How to relegate the details to the background, and move the story to the foreground
  • How never to be afraid to make mistakes
