If you write only about the things that are safe, about the emotions that are happy and easy, then your story will lack the authenticity and power that readers hunger for.
Thursday, I had the privilege and fun of being interviewed by coach, author, colleague and friend, Adela Rubio. I talked with her about the importance of diving into the Dark to empower and enhance your writing. We spoke about some of the gifts of the Dark that lie in wait for us, including dreams and nightmares, memories good and bad, and the things we fear. But, we agreed that there is no story, whether fiction or nonfiction, without conflict, without those things that challenge us.
During the interview, I gave listeners an example of a writing exercise that I’ll be doing as part of my upcoming program, Writing from the Dark: Using Dreams, Memories, and the Unknown to Tell Your Story.
If you’d like to listen to that interview, do the exercise, and receive information on the free report I offered AND the special savings code for my upcoming 3-part teleseminar series, Writing from the Dark, then check out the interview at http://www.adelarubio.com/#
