Details are the lifeblood of your story. And writing is all about the selection of those details. But how do you decide which details matter?
When we sit down to write, we’re often bombarded with too many details. We’re in this constant and brutal battle with the facts of our experience, the details of the world, and the needs of our story.
The question we must continually ask is, What do I leave in? What do I leave out?
But selecting the right story details is easier than you think. Because you already know how to do this. You select what's worthy of your attention moment by moment, whether you're conscious of it or not.
In this episode, we’ll explore what you already know about selecting details, and how to bring that instinct directly to your fiction or memoir.
