A new interview with the author Douglas Glover about his collection of essays on literary form, The Erotics of Restraint (Biblioasis).
When Douglas Glover and I spoke, he mentioned that, as he was developing his craft, he would make lists of conflicted situations in a notebook. Then, when he wanted to begin a new project, he'd read through his notebook to find a promising conflicted situation with which to start. He doesn't know what the plot will be as he begins, but he does still always know the conflict. This week, make a list of conflicts from which you might draw an interesting situation to use in your writing.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and please tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
