Zitat des Tages von Carmen Agra Deedy:
I find that it takes a lot of years of living, and many more of reckoning, to come up with one worthwhile paragraph. And when a deadline looms, prayer doesn't hurt, either.
The hardest part is making the time to write. Not finding the time to write, mind you. Making.
If you tell stories you love, you will never tell them with indifference - take it to the bank.
Whatever we perceive as good in the world has always endured, and it always will.
Listening to others does not mean you should sound like them; find your own voice by telling stories as authentically as possible.
Listen to great storytellers; slowly, you will learn about voice, timing, tension, structure, climax - all the things you need to tell stories that will capture the imagination of your audience.
Read, read, read. Read good books. You will strengthen your understanding of story. Your vocabulary will be the richer for it.
