Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
British Author Caroline Lea, whose new novel is PrizeWomen (Harper Perennial).
This week's Write the Book Prompt was suggested by my guest, Caroline Lea. It's an assignment she sometimes gives to her students. Go somewhere you wouldn't normally go, and write about it. (Don’t get arrested, she says. Or if you do, don’t blame her!) Her students have visited cemeteries, they've gone to other dorms and spoken with students they wouldn’t usually speak to. Caroline says that there's something about putting yourself in a different space or hopefully a slightly uncomfortably position that forces something often very brilliant into your writing.
Good luck with your work in the coming week and please tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
