Using Memory and Writing the Little Details

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Lynda Barry has a really interesting view on how to start writing. She says that if we become curious about memory, we can use it as a spring board to begin writing. The example she gives to show how this would work is when you lose someone for whatever reason. In that period you are dealing with loss, it is the little things in life that bring the memories of that person back the most. Lynda Barry says that you should use the little details within your story to show your reader what is happening. On today's episode of How to Write Good, I am going to be talking about whether I think this advice is good or not.
