General Discussion / Re: Writing Styles: The How and Why of Women Fighting
« Last post by Kiva on Today at 10:44:46 AM »Alice Munro, the Nobel Laureate, recently died at 92.
She said, "I never have a problem finding material to write about. I wait for material to show up, and it always does, in my everyday life."
I couldn’t agree more. I find that people and situations from daily life provide inspiration for fiction. As Shakespeare wrote, “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.”
Thank you for the news. I wasn’t aware Alice Munro passed. I had not been familiar with her work, so I read two of her short stories tonight. Complex female characters are central to many of her stories - definitely my kind of writer! She won the Nobel Prize for a reason.
My new goal is to be the Alice Munro of catfight stories
