#HFGather: Sarah Aronson and Erin Entrada Kelly Talk Character and Process

Apr 29, 2020 | HFGather, Novels

Host Sarah Aronson and Erin Entrada Kelly had a lively conversation on today’s #HFGather, talking about process and character:

  • The importance of having just the right notebook
  • Questions you can ask your characters to get to know them better
  • Creating your own safe space in a time of uncertainty
  • Appealing to contemporary readers when writing about the past
  • Writing in your head counts as writing
  • Winning the Newbery award doesn’t banish Imposter Syndrome
  • Talking about writing makes you want to write
