You can solve most of your writing problems if you stop after every sentence and ask, What does the reader need to know next? -- William Zinsser via @brevitymag on the most recent #CraftTalks. So good.
“I tell my students that when you write, you should pretend you’re writing the best letter you ever wrote to the smartest friend you have." --Jeffrey Eugenides via @brevitymag on #CraftTalks

When beginning a piece, skip the backstory. You can always weave it in later, after you have hooked the reader, heightened the story stakes, and gotten ahold of the reader's attention. --@GuerillaMemoir via #CraftTalks this week
Listening to Allison @GuerillaMemoir K Williams in #crafttalks about first lines, hooks etc. using fascinating examples. Can't wait to read #slapstick again for the lessons Thaddeus Gunn's #writing holds.
Don't tell readers anything they could figure out themselves, says Heather Sellers in #CraftTalks. Or as @brevitymag says, “Show a lot, tell a little, never explain.”
Can’t wait to teach this two-part class w/@GuerillaMemoir! It’s going to be intense with quick writing exercises and a lot of engagement & useful tools to create & pitch your essays. :)

"Memory is a river, memory is a story. The story is the memory itself." --Dinty Moore @brevitymag in "Navigating Memories in Memoir: What You Can’t Remember is an Opportunity, Not a Problem" via #CraftTalks
In memoir, you are not just writing a transcript of what happened. You're writing a story, and memory itself --faulty, messy, subjective, contested -- is part of the story. --Dinty Moore @brevitymag via #CraftTalks
"Acknowledging your faulty memory, speaking about it to the reader directly helps the reader trust you, feel like you're a friend." -- @brevitymag in "Navigating Memories in Memoir: What You Can’t Remember is an Opportunity, Not a Problem" #crafttalks

Another example of how constraints can spark creativity: Mickey Dubrow in #CraftTalks says that outlines boost his creativity because once he maps out the structure of his novel, he can go wild filling in the spaces in between.
I have a bit of a bottomless hunger for writing advice, so I appreciated this reminder from @MikeCopperman during his recent #CraftTalks: "Any [writing] model or any sort of tool to work for you, it really has to be your tool, not somebody else's."
“Every story is two stories. The one on the surface and the one bubbling underneath. The climax is when they collide.” --Grace Paley via @MikeCopperman in #CraftTalks
How to know when to zoom in and write a scene in memoir? Use scene in moments of change, or when new information is revealed. Zoom out when you want to reflect on what happened. --@arielkcurry and @lizmorrow28 via #CraftTalks
How do you know what constitutes a chapter in a memoir? @Arielkcurry and @lizmorrow28 in "Map Your Memoir" for #CraftTalks suggest 1 polarity shift per chapter -- that is, when the state of the protagonist shifts from bad to good, good to amazing, good to bad, or bad to terrible.
