#10: How Living Abroad Can Improve Your Writing - Ariella Gibson

Send us Fan MailWriter and artist Ariella Gibson lives a life many of us dream of—making art from a home abroad. But how does that constant shift in perspective actually shape her work? In this episode Ariella and I chat about the direct line between her nomadic lifestyle and her creative output, principally short stories and photography. We also play a brilliant game of "book to movie casting," which leads us into a masterclass on intuitive story structure, and the essential books that fuel her hybrid practice. A compelling look at the stories we live and the stories we make. Not to be missed.Support the showIf you like this episode you can check out my novel, Jack Strong and the Red Giant, about a 12 year old boy’s adventures on a strange, alien spaceship:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M22USREAnd my poetry collection, ‘Made in China’, which features 50 sonnets on life in modern China:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DMLPYZR
