#161: Looking Back On The Past: A Guide To Writing Retrospective Narrators
Manage episode 379331667 series 3006220
When we write about what happened, we’re tempted to be bound by what actually occurred. But our memories are not recordings that can be verified. Memory is a construct of the imagination. It’s not reliable.
Memory is altered by the life we’ve lived since. By the life your character has lived since.
What a character tells from memory is altered by the present.
In this episode, you’ll get a guide to writing retrospective narrators. We’ll talk about the two voices to bring to your retrospective story, and 4 questions to help you shape your character’s depth of view.
