Our conversation with debut novelist Regina Buttner, author of “Absolution,” which explores the consequences of allowing what happens to you define you, is a great listen for anyone new to fiction writing who needs some tips on how, exactly, to go about it. We discuss plotting, writing scene by scene, developing a disciplined writing habit, and how to tackle controversial topics head on. Plus Buttner’s biggest writing influence – the Writers Digest Conference in NYC may happen in person in July 2021! Yes, that’s something to be excited about in this strange new world.
It doesn’t matter what the first sentence is, as long as you start writing. Your first sentence can be a throw-away…. just keep going.
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel noone else has a right to blame us.
