Listen to Episode 17

For our seventeenth episode, we talk to Andrew Shaffer, author of Feel the Bern: A Bernie Sanders Mystery. Andrew describes what it’s like to write fiction about public figures and how studying comedy writing at The Second City has influenced his writing process. He shares a writing prompt from his wife, author Tiffany Reisz, who appeared on episode seven.

Andrew believes that the well known saying to write what you know “doesn’t mean that you can only write stuff about your own life.” Instead of taking that advice literally, you should “write what you know in terms of emotional truths.”

She explains that “something prompted every one of us to sit down and pour words onto the page. It could have been a smell or an aroma that automatically transports us back to a memory, or it could be a snippet of dialogue that we overhear, or it could be our desire to understand some kind of idea or behavior or character behavior or a big life idea. Whatever it was, something compels us to make sense of our world through the art of writing.”

Marcia shares the process she has developed for using writing prompts in her classes. She asks students to complete a pre-prompt prompt, a craft-oriented writing prompt, and a post-prompt prompt. 

Listen to the complete episode to find out how to incorporate these techniques into your writing process.

"It can be pretty scary to have a blank page in front of you and hope to see a novel draft by the end," she says. "So maybe it makes things easier if you think of scenes as the building blocks of a novel. And if you create a scene one by one, then eventually you might have a novel."

He also talks about his writing process, including how he manages rejection. "It's hard to get a publishing house, even if you have an agent," he says.  "So just don't give up every time you get a rejection letter, just put it on the pile. And every time I got a rejection letter, I'd be like, well, that's one try closer to my book finally getting accepted. So you have to be persistent."

Plus, we're excited to share a story submitted by listener Beth Kelly, "The Box on the Porch." Beth wrote her story in response to Gwenda Bond's prompt in episode 9.

Tiffany also shares her thoughts on writer’s block. “When you’re stuck,” she says, “that’s your brain trying to tell you, we need to go in a different direction. And writing prompts or writing craft books can help you find that direction. The writer’s block is always trying to tell you something. It’s not a wall; it’s a sign, and you need to learn how to read the sign.”

Mariama recommends that writers engage with their communities. "Part of being a writer is also experiencing the world around you and also engaging with it," she says. "So, you know, it's not just being a siloed writer, tortured writer in a tower, but the more you engage with people and arts and things that you're not familiar with, the more powerful your writing is going to be."
