“I constantly exist in two worlds; this and in the one in my head with my characters.”
In her 21 years of writing Adele Parks has published 21 books. Her 22nd is out next year - and she’s currently working on book 23! So what’s her secret to this mammoth back catalogue? In this episode of A Truth Universally Acknowledged, Adele shares the secrets of her prolific writing schedule.
Adele gave up watching soaps so she could make time to write, alongside her full-time job. Her advice to you is to take yourself seriously and commit to yourself as a writer. Harriet and Adele also discuss how to discover your brand as a writer and how to take readers with you, when moving to a different genre.
Adele has a habit of talking to her characters in her head, so Harriet has taken inspiration from this for this week’s creative exercise. Be prepared to interview yours!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman at the start of a midlife crisis needs a creative project. So writer, journalist and broadcaster Harriet Minter is writing a book….. A “chick-lit” novel (don’t worry, we’ll be discussing that term). A genre that is both critiqued and loved in equal parts.
Join Harriet for the writing journey, as she navigates story arcs, character traits and plots. In every episode you’ll hear from authors who have been there and done it and friends who can help crack problems that Harriet has been dealing with in her novel each week.
