Bookcast 98: Reading + Writing the Highly Descriptive
Manage episode 440153331 series 3251773
On epi 98 of The BookCast by DL White, we are chatting about reading, writing and storytelling.
There has been some discourse about whether authors include too much inconsequential detail in their writing. As a writer who strives for vivid description, it is important to immerse the reader in the scene without bogging down the narrative. Skillful writing can transport readers through evocative language, while keeping the story moving forward. I talk more about this approach on today's episode.
I also talked a little about Facebook advertising, the BOOK I read this week (just ONE!) and what I am hoping to get into.
I also shared a writing update:
Same Time Next Week has been updated through Chapter 7. This is a serial that is updated twice a week on my short fiction substack.
Calculated Risk has 5,000+ words and I am feeling good about it. I am working to develop the slightly antagonistic meet-cute between Imani and Desmond. They both carry wounds from their past that they will help each other overcome through their relationship. Crafting complex, relatable characters is supremely rewarding.
Lastly, I reviewed upcoming author appearances. Don't forget to share any comments or feedback you have at my website (booksbydlwhite.com/bookcast/98) or my substack (authordlwhite.substack.com).
The Bookcast is written, produced and edited by me. Our theme music and any sound effects are provided by Pixabay. Our break tunes were brought to you by Infrared Krypto. Look him up on Youtube or Spotify. I think he calls his genre lofi jazz. Super nice instrumental with a great tempo. Today’s selection is called Clearview off of his latest album Ultraviolet. You should spin that thang!
