How does a writer improve? In this episode, two prominent writers and writing professors from North Carolina State University’s graduate program in creative writing share their insight into the creative process. With over 50 years of teaching experience between them, poet Dorianne Laux and fiction writer John Kessel offer advice to all levels of writers, reminding us to always try “once more, with feeling.”

 

Podcast Notes:

 

Writing allows people to open the mind and the heart. Encourages expression of things that are not encouraged in their social groups. Teaches people how to express themselves. We all have some capacity to write and to respond to it. Fans out in their lives beyond just writing. The teacher’s job… knows things that do and don’t work and why. Try to understand what the writer is trying to say and help them say it. Can’t break the rules until you know how to play the game. Help writer make it interesting to the reader (the “heat”).
