Artist & Writers Fest – USU -Brandon Mull – Author of Fablehaven – - Dream it up in your head and then do it - Use the real world as a model - Spend lots of time daydreaming - Details and memories provide additional insight - World building – create a new environment or world - Think through how the world would work and what would happen. Example: Say a good fiction writer might talk about a concept of an automobile. A great fiction writer goes clear to the traffic jam level of this concept. o Take things to a new level and what happens in their society or culture. How do you deal with cause and effects? - What new abilities does this bring to the picture? - Brandon interacted with the audience quite well… lots of questions and responses. Story based. He was talking about concepts of world building. Think through the realities of the world you are building. - Characters, details, physical description, use of words, how they think, what do they do, personality, learn about past, base off of real people, what they choose, stay true to that, relationships, interactions between players. - Five key pieces to a story and/or world building: characters & relationships & trouble & decisions & consequences. - Imagination can take you places. - Sometimes no’s help create who you are – a great teacher! Reading session – Writer’s & Artist Fest - I want to accomplish my dreams – so that is what I’ll do – young author. - Limitless! o Creativity, motivation, capacity of the heart, challenges. |
