#HFGather host Sarah Aronson had a rich, interesting chat with guest Debbi Michiko Florence about character, representation and journaling:
- Doing the extra work to include diverse characters without stereotyping
- Using your journal to flesh out emotion
- Writing middle grade books vs. chapter books
- As teachers, wanting to open doors for their writing students
- Keeping a diary for your character(s)
- Writing the long discovery draft
- Doing the hard work of plot tightening
- All the ways they feel supported by other writers
- Somebody else’s writing success is also OUR success
The two also gave much food for thought during the Q&A. If you missed the live webinar, watch it here:
