Disruption is Good for Art: a #HFGather Chat with Sarah Aronson & Jennifer Jacobson

May 27, 2020 | HFGather, Novels

Writer & teacher Jennifer Jacobson joined host Sarah Aronson at today’s Writer Chat. They are both on the faculty for our Whole Novel Workshop, and they shared many insights about writing and revising:

  • Disruption is good for art
  • Allowing yourself to follow trails
  • Writing in multiple genres
  • Story defines the genre
  • How to help teachers create community
  • The power of partner writing
  • Questions to ask your characters
  • Nothing is more powerful than realizing you’ve been heard
  • Pens that stop writing in the middle of a good idea
