Beginning on July 9th, I will be running a 12 day series here on the blog to get you thinking about writing from a different angle. I believe that too often, authors spend too much time wordsmithing to death their stories, worrying about their GMC's of their characters or thinking about how to market their book before they have even written it. As you have read here on the blog, how many times have I talked about going to conferences listening to authors complaining about book sales, or whining about the business of publishing and not thinking about the stories or even why they are writing.
That is the point of this series.
I have the benefit of having three fantastic kids in some pretty diverse careers (all of which were amazingly expensive to support as parents). My oldest, Rowan, is a NCAA swim coach and who still competes competitively. My middlest, Cate, is an Equestrian coach in Wellington, Florida working with dressage and hunter/jumpers. My youngest, Bronwyn, who just graduated is a dancer and choreographer. All provide me unique insights not just from a coaching insight, but from a mental and learner's mindset into how to prepare and think about how to approach an activity. For this series, we are going to go to the dance field.
I stumbled across this from a social media post that came across my feed by a ballerina and movement educator by a ballerina and movement educator by the name of Ayca Anil. Her insights were amazing. We'll take what she says about ballet and dance and look at it from a writing perspective.
Let's get ready to change our thinking!
