1. I have heard about this. I actually read it a long, long time ago during a time when I was popping these books like snack foods. I just look forward to looking at it with fresh eyes and a more seasoned mindset on story and writing.
2. I'm planning on going to a few museums and gardens (obviously). Also looking at some old stories and seeing if I can either make them fresh or hit delete.
3. I have earmarked Tuesdays and Wednesdays to be creative days. For a spoonie working on a few projects and managing a household, that just means I will make sure I safeguard time for my writing and art. I'll set time aside or meet friends and do that with them.
4. Honestly, from the first chapters, I was most interested by the definition of story. I think of story as the telling a plot. Simple as that. But there seems to be way more nuance according to the author, which I look forward to hearing more about. I don't remember that from the first read. I will say that I don't care for her bringing up of a writer in a negative way within Chapter 1. Not saying that it can't be done in a book, but it's a little off-putting to me. This one seems like it might be a bit of a journey.
I'll be interesting in hearing your experience with a second read-through! I'm a little hesitant about her tone right now but trying to hold off judgment until I get a little further in. I agree about the journey part.... Mr. Toad's Wild Ride perhaps.
