Get out of the way
Marybeth Holleman
Learning how to get our writer minds out of the way of the storyspace
takes special attention in the realm of creative nonfiction, especially
memoir. How does the language we use preserve the storyspace that
we want readers to inhabit from the first line to the last? How
does language rupture that space, throwing readers out of the
story and into observing the mind behind the words?

How to develop your idea
Julia Donaldson
People always ask, "Where do you get your ideas?" but
for many of us that is the easiest part. It's what to do with an
idea that can be tricky - how to develop it into a rich, exciting,
satisfying story.
