#60 – David Baboulene – Write Through The Roof
Episode 60 – interview with David Baboulene – author, academic & story consultant
‘I find inspiration but analyse the inspiration to speed up the process’
Episode 60 – David Baboulene – Show Notes- Type of writing depending on mood and deadline
- Both a plotter and a pantser – wearing two hats
- Successful writers are very productive
- Writers being hermits
- Winning a competition but having an unsatisfying experience with a Hollywood guru
- Explaining the story craft without telling the writer what to do
- Storification – what jumps off the page and lives in the reader’s mind e.g a moral message in a fairy tale
- The author doesn’t need to know the ending half as much as they need to know how the story storifies. Then you can work backwards.
- Encoding knowledge gaps which are decoded by the receiver (the reader) as meaning
- Leaving gaps makes the reader create meaning in their own mind – puzzles for the reader to do the work
- PG Wodehouse – books released after his death
- The Primary Colours of Story coming out in 2019
‘He’d been rubbish but he became a genius because he worked’
