“Confessions of a Naked Writer”
Writing a screenplay, book, article, tv commercial, blog, blah, blah, requires the writer to have the ability to tell a story. How does a writer tell a story? For openers, a beginning, a middle, an end, and a main theme that holds everything together like the roots of a tree, opens the door for writers.
What does the writer do next? Find their voice. I repeat, find their voice. Voice? Writing? How does that work?
Read Daniel Quinn’s “Ishmael”, Frank McCourt’s “Angela’s Ashes”, and anything Elmore Leonard has written. Then, listen and read Garrison Keillor. He is the master storyteller. And, you will make discoveries about your writing voice.
