Jeanette C. Pope gave a very informative and entertaining presentation last weekend on Prewriting and Prewriting Strategies to help get the writing process started. Enjoy the recording below!
Jeanette C. Pope has been a member of the Derby Rotten Scoundrels for 7 years. She is a retired teacher from Jefferson County Public Schools who still tutors elementary students 3 days a week and coaches her former students on their career paths and vocational choices. Her passion for writing fiction has been a part of her life since her early teens. However, becoming an author wasn’t encouraged. Her hard-working parents did not see writing as a good way to become self-sufficient. As a middle-of-the-road agreement, she and her parents decided a teaching career would suffice for financial security. Jeanette agreed because she knew she could dazzle her students with stories in every subject.
Jeanette has published two novels, Double Triangles and Desperate Angles. Jeanette lives in Louisville, Kentucky with her husband. She is proud of her son and daughter who are very successful in their work choices. Her two granddaughters bring joy, love, and excitement to her life.
Jeannette,
I have never experienced writer’s block. I have more ideas than I have time to type them up. It’s always wonderful to learn new techniques. I was aware of this one. My agencies and I used technique previously in developing branding and advertising concepts. I never thought of using it this way. Your technique could be a way to help figure our way out of a situation where we have written ourselves into and gotten stuck, looking for a solution. Very helpful, my friend.
Thank you so much for all the work it took to create this presentation and for sharing it with us.
