She uses simple examples to illustrate that building a story is very much a case of problem solving, and coming up with ideas is something unique and instinctive in everyone.Įven with large groups, Kirsty keeps her session interactive and often includes re-enactments of dramatic events to put the students directly in the action. Kirsty also talks about inspiration in a very practical way, removing the mystique often attached to this part of writing. In Kirsty's author talks she covers things like: how she became a published author (a story of fail and fail again), her working process - taking her audience through the 7 or 8 stages between the initial idea for a book and holding the actual published thing in your hand, and talking to students about how they can apply this approach to their own work.
