SUMMARY:HOW-TO TUESDAY: Finding Story Inspiration When You're All Tapped Out with Steph Auteri
DESCRIPTION:When we mine our lives for writing inspiration\, we sometimes fall into the trap of focusing on that one terrible thing\, or that one incredible thing\, or that one wacky thing that happened to us\, wringing the topic dry until we’re bored of our own dang story. After that\, we worry there’s nothing unique or exceptional left about our lives that’s worth writing about. \nBut life itself — everything we experience or observe — is filled with story fodder. In this session\, you’ll learn: \n\nwhy ordinary lives can lead to extraordinary writing\nthe questions you can ask yourself when you’re feeling all tapped out on story ideas\nhow to generate a buttload of story ideas in one sitting\n\nSteph Auteri has been a journalist and personal essay writer for about 25 years\, which means she’s had to come up with a buttload of story ideas on the regular for a very long time. Join her if you’re in a slump and looking to reinvigorate your writing practice. \nWe hope you will join us! Note: All registered attendees will get a link to the recording\, so be sure to register even if you cannot make it life. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nSteph Auteri has successfully brainstormed and pitched stories to the Atlantic\, Pacific Standard\, VICE\, Rewire News Group\, and many other publications. She’s also gotten personal for Poets & Writers\, Creative Nonfiction\, Romper\, under the gum tree\, and elsewhere. Two of her essays — both of them about very ordinary\, relatable experiences — were listed as Notable by Best American. And she had the gall to write a whole dang book about her life\, too (A Dirty Word). These days\, she’s bringing her life into her short fiction. Learn more at stephauteri.com. \nAll of our speakers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine. Steph serves as our essays editor\, and her work also appears in our craft anthology\, Getting to the Truth: The Craft and Practice of Creative Nonfiction.
