Literary Ticking Clocks
from Charlotte Dune's Lagoon Hosted by Charlotte Dune
In today's episode of Charlotte Dune’s Lagoon, we're winding into the world of "ticking clocks" in literature and how they're not just gripping plot devices, but also mirrors to our real-life motivations. Counting down to my own book launch, I share thoughts on these suspense-building tools. I also reveal and tease about the literary devices and hidden clocks in my own books: Cactus Friends, Mushroom Honeymoon, and Acid Christmas. But it's not just in books; we all have personal ticking clocks that nudge us to chase our goals. I talk about turning off the clock when life gets too overwhelming, offering a unique perspective on how we can use these literary insights in our daily lives. So, if you've ever felt the urgency of a ticking clock, whether in fiction or reality, this episode will have you nodding along and maybe even reconsidering the ticking clocks in your own life.
