Write The Book: Conversations on Craft
Arts:Books
An interview with the author Karen Joy Fowler, whose new historical novel is Booth, which concerns the family behind one of the most infamous figures in American history: John Wilkes Booth. The book came out last week from Putnam.
This week’s Write the Book Prompt was generously offered by my guest, Karen Joy Fowler, who suggests picking one of the great emotions: fury, joy, envy, terror. Write a scene from your childhood in which you experienced that emotion, maybe, but not necessarily, for the first time. If you are in the midst of a fictional project, write the scene for one of your characters instead.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
