Inspiration: Clarifying and Adding Structure to Initial Inspiration - Learn Pro Tools & Tricks
Fri 26 Jun 2015 to Fri 26 Jun 2015
In this talk, C. M. Taylor will use his own work-in-progress to explain the pro tools and tricks he uses to add structure to initial inspiration, and to keep in touch with a book's emotional heart
We often hear the question, 'Where do your ideas come from?' But for writers, the more important question is often, 'Why did I get this idea?' Because clarifying your own inspiration and motivation is vital when it comes to making those huge decisions about plot, character and theme. In this talk, C. M. Taylor will use his own work-in-progress to explain the pro tools and tricks he uses to add structure to initial inspiration, and to keep in touch with a book's emotional heart.

Craig (writing as C. M. Taylor) is the author of five novels. Premiership Psycho (Corsair 2011) and the Amazon best-selling Group of Death (Corsair 2012) form two thirds of a savagely satirical trilogy about contemporary celebrity culture described as 'Brilliant' by The Sun, and 'Horribly entertaining' by The Mirror. He's also the author of Light, Cloven and Grief, the last a dystopian fantasy described by British Science Fiction Association as a work of 'breathtaking originality' and nominated for their 2005 Book of the Year. A keen collaborator, Craig has established a company to create narrative apps. He has been a book editor with the Writers' Workshop since (almost) its inception.
