Some notes from How to be a public author with Cash Carraway, Paul Ewen and Carmen Marcus

Say the unsaid and taboo

Share the things that you are scared of

When procrastinating, "just write the shit version" - Dennis Kelly

A useful exercise is to distill the work to a single line

Fine the core of the book before offering it up for feedback so you can retain the core

Read your work out loud and sense the reaction

All writers need to be readers

Treat your story like it is a house - where are the public /private places?

Stick to your own voice

Don't wait for inspiration to hit

Writing is reading, walking, researching etc - try something new with your writing
