Write Through The Roof: Sandra Ireland

Welcome to Write Through The Roof, the podcast for writers who want to improve their craft. Episode 54 – Sandra Ireland – writer of tartan gothic “I like to be scared when I’m writing.”  Episode 54 – Sandra Ireland – Show Notes  Morning writing – not as creative in the afternoon Goal of 500 words per day Ritual of two cups of tea and one cup of coffee in favourite mug Dark, creepy with a heavy dose of menace, toxic relationships Landscape as a starting point for writing – sense of place to inform writing Manipulating people’s fears and shadow sides. Not just scaring the reader, not just horror but writing about what personally scares you. Vulnerability and readers not knowing what is imagination and what is true. Currently writing non-fiction about the folklore surrounding the Mill (setting of Bone Deep). The words coming out faster with non-fiction. Fiction as a therapy – creative release. Giving herself the permission to be creative. The tribe with the right vibe – people who understand to bounce ideas off. Be careful who you share your writing with. Brontes, Benjamin Myers – The Gallows Pole, Julie Myerson – The Stopped Heart A resurgence of gothic writing – perhaps as a reaction to current events Bone Deep – inspired by work as a tour guide in a water mill. At times the mill felt unwelcoming. Modern story with a strand of an old folktale (Border Ballad). The key struggle for writing students is a lack of confidence. One technique is forcing students to share their work. Upcoming – The Mill (non-fiction) and The Unmaking of Ellie Rook Residencies – productive but sometimes lonesome  “Write about what scares you.” “It’s a basic human drive to be creative.”   Links  Sandra Ireland Sandra on Twitter Sandra on Facebook Sandra on Instagram  The post #54 – Sandra Ireland – Write Through The Roof appeared first on .
