Demystifying the Writing Process from Blank Page to Finished Manuscript

What exactly happens in the mind of a writer between the spark of an idea and the time it becomes a finished written work? Vastly different from what we typically learn in school, this episode unpacks and demystifies the writing process with composition expert Dr. Diana Glyer. 

 

As an author, speaker, and professor on the topic, Diana presents the five basic stages experienced writers use to create work. Whether you’re a student, author, poet, or playwright, this paradigm will help you get your ideas down, overcome the hurdles of drafting, and finish well without being derailed by perfectionism or procrastination.

 

The writing process is the topic of the first book in Diana’s upcoming Writer’s Foundation series. She has also authored several books including The Company They Keep, The Bandersnatch, Clay in the Potter’s Hands, and A Compass for Deep Heaven.
