On the literary battlefield of creation, can you hold tight to vision? We continue our conversation with Becky Ellis who shares, in this short interview, more about her creative process and how, over a ten year period, she was thrown off vision by her desire to get published.
This is a great interview, Jennifer. Thanks for doing it! As a writer starting off here, I feel like there is so much wisdom shared here. Blessings to you and Becky both for sharing all the war stories!
I like writing scenes, probably too much. My developmental editor told me there was so much dialog in my memoir manuscript, that I needed to cut down and summarize/ tell more.
When I heard Becky use the word “incomplete” I jump-stepped off the treadmill straddling the moving belt to pause the replay of your interview.
Then I typed this note into my iPhone: “The word ‘incomplete’ caught me. When I think of my strokes and saving/moving the 100-year old mansion, either story feels incomplete without the other.”
Becky you watered some structure seeds for me. And Jennifer, thank you for interviewing Becky.

I hope you'll join us for our live convo Wednesday AM. It will be great!
Thank you Becky and Jennifer…
