Questions for panels

[Forthwrite]

We have a fantastic panel discussion around Writing and Motherhood coming up on Tuesday 23 Nov. What questions would you like us to ask the writers?

[Anna J]

Where is the your favourite place to write?

I’m looking forward to this!

I’d like to ask, how do you carve out time round the kids, from a practical point of view?

How do you start?! Do you plan your stories, and if so how much so?

What advice would you give to a novel virgin, about creating a great story?

What do you wish some one had told you before you became a writer?

What do you think are the pitfalls that amateur writers tend to fall into?

Hi
Am really looking forward to the panel discussion.

My quesion would be: I can only start my writing process each time with my huge quill and inkpot…..no I’m joking! do you have an unusual habit that you have to do when sitting down to write?

2nd question (if that’s ok?!): to what depth do you colour your characters? to the length of their fingernails and shoe size? or just basic physical attributes and then focus more importantly on the characterisation of their internal emotions / thought processes / psychology?

Hi, my questions are:
1. Do you “plan out” your plot in advance, or just start writing and see where that takes you?
2. How do you overcome fear of failure/ writing but immediately wanting to delete/edit
3. Did you always want to be a writer?

Hi,

My thoughts for questions:
1. What is the best piece of advice you have been given in relation to writing?
2. How did you know in what genre/area/form etc you wanted to write?

Thank you!

[Sam]

Great questions!

[kazaroona]

I really loved this, especially the practical advice! Thankyou!
