It’s been just over a year since my first visit to the Logan Hyperdome Library, and this year I was more than ready for round 2! This year I spoke about ‘breaking the rules of writing’, namely; writing in present tense; in first person; and from the viewpoints of multiple characters. I used these techniques when writing ‘The Brothers of Turoc’ and felt it really helped me ‘tell’ the story in the most absorbing way. Through-out the morning we covered why we have these rules in the first place, the benefits of breaking them, and how it can be achieved.

We also spent a little time talking about self-publishing and finished off with lots of chatting over tea and coffee supplied by the library. Overall it was another fantastic morning and I hope each attendee walked away having learned something new!
