“I had to decimate the idea in my head that happiness is dependent on being in a relationship.”
Harriet is ending on the topic that started the podcast in a very satisfying full-circle moment (it’s like she’s been thinking about plot or something?!) Why is women’s fiction so overlooked? She is joined by an author who recently wrote an article on the subject and you can read that here. Emma Hughes’s first book No Such Thing As Perfect made her question where the love in her character’s life came from and did it really have to be from a relationship as the classic happily ever after story goes.
In your final creative exercise of the series, Harriet is taking inspiration from The London Writers Salon and their use of a quote from Neil Gaiman encouraging you to walk toward your own creative mountain.
Harriet will be back in the new year with a new series of A Truth Universally Acknowledged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman at the start of a midlife crisis needs a creative project. So writer, journalist and broadcaster Harriet Minter is writing a book….. A “chick-lit” novel (don’t worry, we’ll be discussing that term). A genre that is both critiqued and loved in equal parts.
Join Harriet for the writing journey, as she navigates story arcs, character traits and plots. In every episode, you’ll hear from authors who have been there and done it and friends who can help crack problems that Harriet has been dealing with in her novel each week.
