Where do you write? Kate has a very specific place where she writes. Students had a chance to line up and ask their own questions to support their writing. Some deep breaths are involved and maybe some chocolate too. Cassie relies on Kate to talk her through the frustration so she can start again. Kate and Cassie both talked about the frustration. I think it’s important that students know that it’s not always the best feeling to start over even when you know it’s the right thing to do. I mostly asked because that’s a bit how I feel when I have to start over. I casually asked Kate and Cassie how they feel when they have to start again. I’ve heard several authors talk about how much they rewrite, and it’s important for students to hear that too because it’s really hard to start over. The 75% was what was needed in order to discover the best story that was hiding underneath everything else. After our connection, we spent a bit more time talking about this and came to the conclusion that even though that writing doesn’t make it into the novel it wasn’t wasted work. Kate even shared that she thinks that about 75% of what she writes doesn’t get used. Circus Mirandus, Tumble and Blue, and Gertie’s Leap to Greatness all went through multiple rewrites.
One of the most surprising things to all of us was the amount of writing that they do that never makes it into a novel. Both sisters shared that they do a good bit of outlining when they are getting ready to write. #author #skypeĪ post shared by Barrow Media Center on at 11:41am PDTĬassie shared that she often starts with an idea for a story and Kate often starts with a character and tries to put that character into a setting and a problem.
