Alas, there is no class in “life 101.”

The closest I’ve come is my journalism class in high school. No, really.

In my first year after college, I began to see a pattern at work. The skills and prior experience that benefited me most could be traced back to my time on the high school newspaper staff.

I was a staff writer for all 4 years; I wrote news articles, “features,” and an editorial column. We published a paper every month, affectionately dubbed “The High Life,” and started an online blog for more time-sensitive pieces. (Truly, we were before our time.)

We called our advisor “Coach” because he doubled as the tennis coach. Journalism and tennis were (still are!) his two passions in life. More recently, he’s added biking to the mix… as I write this, he’s completing his second cross-country bike ride. But that’s a story for another day.

Coach ran our class like a real newsroom. He pushed us. He wanted us to take it seriously. As a result, we were really proud of our work.

When I run into high school friends who were on the staff, we talk about the impact Newspaper has had on our lives. Several of those classmates went on to pursue careers in journalism: one worked for CNN, and now she’s a Producer / Reporter with ABC News.

But my point is this: whether or not we chose a journalism-related field, each of us has massively benefited from the real-world skills we developed in Newspaper class.

How to find inspiration in everything

There are stories all around us. You have to train yourself to see them.

At the beginning of every class period, Coach would lead us in a brainstorming session. We kept lists on the whiteboard throughout the month. As high school students, we made a lot of excuses for our lack of ideas and inspiration.

It was easy when the football team won a game, or a “genius” student earned a prestigious scholarship — but most days, I’d sit in class racking my brain for anything remotely interesting that might count as a worthy “idea.”

Coach taught us to broaden our perspectives when it came to finding stories.

Good stories aren’t always about “events.” Stories are about people.

The coach encouraged us to keep our eyes and ears open. Being a good journalist is about going deeper to find the stories that other people can’t, or won’t, see.

Ask questions. Ask why.

In class, it would go something like this: someone would raise their hand and say, “The cafeteria is closed until next Tuesday.” And Coach would say, “Ok. Is there a story there?” We’d find out.

The key is in asking “why?” A quick trip to the admin office later, and we might find out there’s a giant sinkhole beneath the cafeteria, or a gas leak, or… well, you get the point. Newsworthy? I’d say so. The seemingly unassuming announcement reveals something more interesting.

Application

In my first job at a marketing agency, I found this skill especially useful in creating content for my clients. I could look at a brand or business with a critical eye and find relevant content in everything: their origin story, their team, their mission, their volunteer work.

A client may say something to you in conversation, and you have to take the initiative to say, “That’s a story.” Approaching my work with a journalistic eye allowed me to create content that connected with audiences.

How to recognize the “angle” of a story

Finding your angle is about asking, “What’s unique about this story?”

What’s your “spin” on the story?

We can’t write about everything — you know this as well as I do. When you write a piece, you write with one argument or takeaway in mind. It’s our job as writers to guide the readers’ thoughts down a particular path. You include only the most valuable information to support your point.

In high school, a lot of our content featured high-performing students or athletes. How did we keep things fresh? It starts with an appreciation for people’s differences; as journalists, we would dig a little deeper to discover what set each person apart.

OK, cool, so-and-so scored a scholarship… what’s different about their journey? Maybe they’re the first in their family to go to college. Maybe they followed a crazy strict morning routine to come out on top.

What’s the angle?

Coach would say, “Don’t bury the lead.” As a journalist, there’s no such thing as “saving” the good stuff for the end. Your angle is your hook. That’s what will catch a reader’s attention and keep it.

Application

Writing for clients at my big-girl job was no different. It’s important to think about the “angle” of your piece even when you’re writing shorter-form content, like ad copy or marketing materials. And it’s especially critical for branding. What’s your value proposition? What makes you different?

You’ll be a stronger writer if you learn to identify the “angle” of your piece.

How to have confidence talking to others

When I joined the newspaper staff as a freshman, I was shy and introverted. I’m grateful now that I was never allowed to use that as an excuse.

I interviewed faculty, staff, and students for my articles. This often meant I was in the admin office — and it was pretty intimidating to approach these authority figures. (I’d certainly never expected to find myself in the principal’s office. Much less on a weekly basis.) Needless to say, this was totally outside of my comfort zone.

It was embarrassing to interrupt a class in the middle of the day and ask to “borrow” a student or chat with a teacher.

And that wasn’t even the hardest part. You might think interviews are easy; oh, sure, they do all the talking and give you all the information you need, and you can go on your merry way and write the world’s best article. Not quite.

As a journalist, you’ve got to take the lead. Most people won’t know exactly what you need, and even when you’re prepared with a list of questions, they might only give you the surface-level answers (the “who,” “what,” “when,” and “where” without the “why”).

An interview is like a conversation. In that sense, I learned to be a more natural conversationalist.

You have to be an active listener, and you have to be curious. You strike a balance between keeping the conversation on track and allowing it to unfold organically.

Application

As an employee, you have to know how to communicate with your boss, coworkers, and clients. In a sense, you’re “interviewing” your clients every day to better understand their brand, their business, and their needs. These are just basic people skills.

Interviewing strangers around campus trained me to be comfortable talking with people I’d never met. It bolstered my confidence in meeting new people, having conversations, and asking for the information I needed.

How to do my research

As a journalist, you can’t take anything at face value. You have to do your research, your due diligence. When you’re pursuing a story, you talk to multiple sources. You check the facts. Making assumptions is a big no-no.

There’s preliminary research to do, too. If you have a basic knowledge of the topic at hand, you’ll ask better questions.

Be informed.

It’s all about credibility. Our goal for our high school paper was to be a credible source of school news for the student body. That meant it was our responsibility to report the facts. You’ll lose credibility with your audience if you print something that’s incorrect or outdated.

Application

Research is one of the best methods of preparation. When I started working, it became obvious to me that not all newbies know how to research. I felt doubly thankful for the years of experience that ingrained this skill.

A few quick thoughts on “doing your homework”: (1) Don’t underestimate a simple Google search. Look to social media; LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook. (2) Sift through the database at work or your task management system for more background on a particular client or project. (3) Ask to take a look at a coworker’s notes.

How to meet deadlines

In Newspaper, there was no such thing as saying you couldn’t finish an article because you felt “uninspired” or your story just “wasn’t ready.”

We had a hard deadline each month for sending the paper off to print.

Putting out our paper each month became an extrinsic motivator for working hard to produce quality articles by the deadline. Not to mention, there was the shame of letting down the entire staff if one of us missed deadline.

Each of us had a role to play, and there was no “hand-holding” from Coach. As a staff writer, I was responsible for researching, writing, and turning in my articles on time.

I learned how to work backward from a deadline to determine how much time I’d have for each phase (interviewing, drafting, revision).

Application

Deadlines are critical in the working world. Similarly to our experience in Newspaper, there are “real” consequences if you miss a deadline — it’s not your “grade” on the line, but your reputation as an employee or a company.

Takeaway

When I was in high school, Newspaper was just a class. A class I loved, sure — but I couldn’t have anticipated how those skills would benefit me for years to come.

It just goes to show that you can learn valuable lessons from the unlikeliest of places.

Say what you will about the future of journalism — but the principles I learned in that class have been, by far, the most valuable skills in life and in my professional career.

I’m thankful for those four years, and I’m thankful for Coach and how he pushed us to be better students, better writers, and better people.

Bracken’s response is what the rest of this article is about:

“…Think in terms of scenes, rather than chapters or word counts. One thing I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I can’t do a daily word count goal because I will absolutely cheat to hit it! Instead, I think, ‘I’m going to write x scene today, or get to the point in the next chapter when xyz happens.’” ~ Alexandra Bracken

I thought this was interesting, actionable advice. I’ve used this strategy myself, and it works! By setting a “scene goal” rather than a target word count or chapter goal, I’ve added more words to my draft in less time.

I like to outline each scene before I draft, a very rough sketch of the “who, what, when, where, why” (this is something Susan Dennard calls the “scene screenplay”). After I’ve done this, I have a better sense of where I’m going with the scene and how much ground I need to cover.

Let’s dissect why this method works. But first, a brief definition of “scene”:

What is a scene?

“The scene is the basic building block of a Story.” ~ Shawn Coyne, The Story Grid

Similarly to a movie “scene,” a scene in your novel tells just one event in the story. Strung together, your individual scenes make up the plot.

“A scene is generally one action in one time and place. It is the basic unit of what actually happens in the story, right now, as the audience experiences it.” ~ John Truby, The Anatomy of Story

Think of it like this — as readers, we get to “zoom in” on a particular moment in the characters’ lives. Maybe it’s a conversation between two people, or an action scene (a car chase? a duel?). Each scene has a mini story arc of its own, a source of conflict and eventual resolution.

Don’t be confused — “scenes” and “chapters” are not synonymous. There may be several scenes in just one chapter. In that case, a chapter may be a scene (a particularly long scene!), but a scene is not a chapter.

1. Beat procrastination with small, quick “wins.”

Writing with no end in sight feels overwhelming. And you may think that writing with a word count or chapter goal gives you something to shoot for, but it’s just as difficult because you’ve got to slog along in the story until you get there (and there’s no way to tell how long it will take).

When you write in terms of scenes, you’ve got a pretty clear idea of what has to happen, and how much ground you’ll need to cover.

There’s generally only one thing that needs to go down in a scene… Harry learns he’s a wizard. Katniss volunteers to take her sister’s place in the games. Just one thing. An argument. An accusation. A revelation. You get the idea.

We can easily wrap our heads around a scene; scenes are manageable. When you knock out a scene, it’s a small, quick “win” that gives you the satisfaction of finishing something. You have more motivation and energy to keep writing.

I’ll write 2 solid scenes and realize I’ve reached 2,000 words… without really even trying! (As in, I wasn’t staring at the blank page or the paragraph I’d rewritten 10 times, wishing another 500 written words would magically appear.)

The problem with writing a “chapter” or even meeting a word count goal is that you might have bitten off more than you can chew. And when you run out of time, or energy, you feel unsatisfied because you haven’t “finished.” You may have logged a lot of words for the day, and yet you still feel as though you’ve let yourself down.

Even worse, sometimes we don’t know how much is left of the chapter. That’s because every chapter is made up of scenes — and a particular scene may need more time and energy than you thought. Or you’ll reach the end of the scene but realize there’s another (unanticipated) scene standing between you and the end of the chapter.

“Finishing the chapter” suddenly becomes this insurmountable obstacle. Writing with no end in sight.

Writing scenes will give you a better idea for where you’re at in the story, and how much further you need to go to stay on track and reach particular milestones (end of Act I, or the midpoint, or the climax).

2. Learn to create high tension.

When I’m drafting (especially first drafts), I have a tendency to write boring transitions when I need to move my characters from Point A to Point B. Can you relate?

In Word (I’ve tried Scrivener, but I always seem to return to Word), sometimes I keep writing without “breaking up” the document. And I’ve realized it’s messing with my head. Without natural scene breaks or chapter breaks, I delude myself into thinking I’m not done yet. Hence the explanatory bits about my character walking down a long hallway, or taking a shower before bed, or “thinking” in the car on her way to who-knows-where.

When I write in terms of scenes, I skip these unnecessary and mind-numbing transitions because I simply jump from one scene to the next.

In Writing the Breakout Novel, Donald Maass writes that low tension is one of the most common flaws he sees in the manuscripts of beginning writers. High tension is the key to a story you can’t put down.

“Another way to avoid slack tension is to build a novel in scenes. A well-constructed scene has a mini-arc of its own: a beginning, rise and climax, or reversal at the end. Jump cutting from the close of one narrative development, one unit of complication, to the next moves a story along at an efficient clip.” ~ Donald Maass, Writing the Breakout Novel

It might feel like you’ve skipped something; you itch to write a transition because you’re pretty sure the reader won’t follow. Do yourself a favor and take a quick break. Come back and read it later. Does the jump feel unnatural?

Probably not — because most books, good books, jump from scene to scene to avoid the boring stuff in the middle. We don’t need to know how Harry Potter got to Transfiguration class. Not unless something interesting happened in the hallway, that is (which is actually a common occurrence in the books — I’m looking at you, Draco Malfoy).

I’m sure you’ve never wondered how the character slept, or if they showered before work, or what they ate for lunch. None of these things matter to you. We assume that the characters eat, sleep, and breathe, but we don’t need the blow-by-blow account. We just want to get to the good stuff.

“Certain types of scenes are so reliably low tension that when reading a manuscript, I count them in my notes with hatch marks. They include: mulling things over while driving from one place to another, relaxing in the shower, fixing a cup of tea or coffee… How many coffee breaks does your protagonist take in your current manuscript? Any? Cut them out.” ~ Donald Maass, Writing the Breakout Novel

3. Keep track of your story’s subplots.

Your subplot is secondary to your main plot but closely tied to the main conflict of the story. When you’re in the weeds, it may be difficult to keep track of your subplot(s).

Planning and drafting in terms of scenes, however, can help you map out the subplot and its intersection with other strategic moments in the story.

If you’re a visual learner, you should check out J.K. Rowling’s “outline” for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You’ll want to start here (see the screenshot of her handwritten chart on notebook paper).

If you’re not familiar, Order of the Phoenix is a massive tome — the longest book in the series. It must have been a beast to plot and write. Rowling sketched out a chart to track the various threads (or subplots) running through her novel. For example, Harry’s romantic relationship with Cho, the Order, the prophecy, and Hagrid and Grawp. These are the columns running across the top. There’s also a column for “plot,” which is her brief summary of how multiple threads come together in a particular scene.

The best scenes — the really strong scenes — are those in which multiple threads intersect. The more of your threads and subplots that come into play, the better.

Blogger “The Friendly Editor” has a different term for these ‘threads’ or ‘subplots’; she calls them ‘series,’ as “a series is the repetition of any narrative element within a story.”

“The individual scenes in [Rowling’s] ‘plot’ column illustrate especially well how her different series come together and play off one another. And that is the definition of a key scene: When several series collide and send the story spinning in new directions.” ~ The Friendly Editor

Whatever term you want to use, it’s a great litmus test for your scenes:

• Does your subplot support the main conflict?
• Is this scene crucial to the story?

And, bonus, if there’s enough interesting stuff happening in the scene — there’s a pretty good chance you’ll feel more excited to write it.

Takeaway

As writers, we’re very familiar with “scenes” and the purpose they serve in our stories. And yet, common writing advice seems to tout word count goals or chapter goals rather than scene goals.

Scenes are much easier to wrap your head around. If you’re struggling to develop a daily writing habit, or struggling to make consistent progress in your novel, I hope you’ll give this strategy a shot.

Plan your individual scenes the same way you’d plan a larger chapter; break things down into bite-sized pieces. The best part is, you can still apply your own method… you can prewrite or outline (or not), use index cards or sticky notes to rearrange scenes, etc. You do you.

I’ve found that looking at my novel as a collection of scenes has helped me make consistent progress. Next time you sit down to write, think in terms of scenes! Best of luck.

I think feedback is critical, which is why I say you should share your thoughts before you share your work.

When I started writing on Medium, I struggled with my output. It had been a long time since I’d written content like this so consistently. The ideas for my articles came slowly at first, and I spent too much time perfecting each piece.

I’ve written about my creative process in the first month, but the gist was this: I’d bang out a first draft and then realize my thoughts and ideas were all over the place. Then I’d go back and restructure the whole thing.

I found that it helps to discuss my ideas before I write my articles. My dad is my go-to person for brainstorming and talking out loud. I don’t know who that person is for you — a friend, a family member, a mentor, a fellow writer — but choose someone you trust to bounce ideas off of.

Here’s how it helped my writing, and a few of my tips to make it work for you:

Clarify your thoughts in conversation.

Having a quick conversation often helps me sort through my thoughts. There’s something about describing my ideas aloud that allows me to clarify my main idea. Conversation has a way of getting to the core of something quickly; whereas it takes me a long time to get there when I’m writing.

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” ~ Albert Einstein

Practical Tips:

• Keep it casual; you’re simply having a conversation.
• Ask your friend to listen while you explain your main idea, or the “thesis” of your piece.
• What’s your “takeaway” for the reader?

When I’m describing an idea for an article to my dad, he listens patiently while I attempt to explain the perspective I want to share in my piece. If my stream of consciousness rambling doesn’t make sense to him, I have to find new words to make my point. In doing so, I’m often able to narrow in on my main argument and shove out all other distracting ideas.

Invite new perspectives.

Sharing your thoughts with others will invite new perspectives. You’re approaching a particular topic from your point of view, and it’s eye-opening to consider other points of view. You’ll see your idea or topic in a new light.

You might think it’s counterintuitive to invite others’ thoughts because you don’t want their opinions to influence yours. This is why you’ve got to find someone you trust, who will challenge your opinions but not change them.

Practical Tips:

• Don’t ask “Is this a good idea?” That’s an opinion question.
• Where did the idea for your piece come from? Describe your inspiration and your perspective on the topic. Then invite your friend’s take on it.
• Ask your friend to play devil’s advocate.

During conversations with my dad, he’ll raise new points and perspectives I hadn’t considered. His questions help me understand how my audience might perceive my article. When he plays devil’s advocate, my writing is stronger for it because I’ve anticipated counterarguments and am able to address them.

Clarity leads to more efficient writing.

It is so much easier to write efficiently when you know what you’re trying to say. Having clarified my main argument, supporting points, and takeaway for the reader, my first drafts take less time to write and aren’t as messy.

Practical Tips:

• Take notes while you’re chatting.
• Number your bullet points or notes so you can remember the order of ideas later when you’re writing.

As I mentioned, I used to struggle with the structure of my articles. My thoughts and ideas were out of order, and I had to perform surgery on each piece before my argument made sense.

I’ll chat with my dad until I understand the logical order of ideas. Now, my first drafts are more structurally sound. There’s still significant revision, but overall, the process is more efficient.

Look to additional resources to add depth.

When you’re drawing on someone else’s thoughts and experiences, they’ll add depth to your piece. They may point you to resources or examples to expand your research or give your topic new depth. You may have only scratched the surface before, but discussing your thoughts with someone else helps you dig a little deeper.

Practical Tips:

• Draw connections to similar topics or ideas.
• Could you quote any recognizable thought leaders or writers who’ve said it better?
• Discuss your personal experiences and how they’re relevant to your topic.

Even better, one idea leads to another, and sometimes you’ll find that your topic lends itself to spinoff articles. Sometimes I can’t see it until my dad points it out.

When I brainstormed an article about rereading as a learning opportunity for writers, my dad suggested I separate the “why” and the “how” because I had so much material. So I did. In that case, I was able to cover each of those topics in more depth. And that’s more value for my readers (not to mention, gave me more content!).

Takeaway

It can be scary to share your thoughts or talk openly about your ideas. At this point in the process, your would-be article is unformed — it’s just something that exists in your head. And so you feel protective of it, and a little wary, unsure whether it will even pan out in the end.

But there are so many benefits to sharing your thoughts and ideas before you put pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard). A trusted confidante will help you clarify your argument, share new perspectives or insight, add depth, and ultimately push you to be a better writer.

Don’t work in a silo. Creativity is such a collaborative process, and if you’re stuck in your own head all the time, you’ll miss out on the cool stuff that comes from creative discussion. I encourage you to find someone you trust, and give this method a shot. Let me know how it works out!

There’s a lot going on in the world right now (that’s the understatement of the century), and I won’t pretend it’s “easy” for creatives to feel motivated or inspired in this climate. It’s challenging, sure. But isn’t that what “creativity” is all about?

Here’s the Dictionary.com definition:

“…the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination.”

Sometimes we have to open our eyes and take a new approach. The pandemic has forced us to make changes, whether we like it or not. So many industries have adapted, and the publishing industry is no different. It’s kind of exciting — after all, what are people turning to in these times of lockdown and quarantine? Well, entertainment: TV, movies, books.

I believe people like J.K. Rowling are successful because they have a unique ability to understand what needs to change. And I’m not talking about change for the sake of change, but innovating to meet needs (before anyone else has caught on!).

Rowling’s decision to release her children’s novel online, in a serial format, is inspiring. As a creative, I’m reminded that there is no “one way” to do something. Publishing your work? The traditional path is not your only option.

Let’s take a closer look at Rowling’s choice, and what we can learn from her:

Why the Serial Novel?

Rowling wrote The Ickabog between Harry Potter novels. While it should have been published after the last Harry Potter book (Deathly Hallows), Rowling decided to take a break and then returned from her “break” with an adult novel and a mystery instead. So, yeah, she was a little busy.

Her children’s book was put on the backburner.

“Then the lockdown happened. It’s been very hard on children, in particular, so I brought The Ickabog down from the attic, read it for the first time in years, rewrote bits of it and then read it to my children again.” ~ J.K. Rowling

Rowling decided to share the book online as a gift for her readers, too. A serial novel is “a work of fiction that is published in sequential pieces called installments.” The Ickabog was released in installments (a few chapters each week) over 7 weeks, between May 26th and July 10th.

The novel will be published in print, and here’s the other half of the equation: Rowling has invited children to illustrate the book. The chosen artwork will be featured in the printed book when it’s published in November.

…Talk about a brilliant marketing strategy.

Serialization was a pretty popular form of publishing in the 1800s. Authors like Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, and Agatha Christie (just to name a few!) published in the serial format.

The concept is not completely foreign to us. It’s like watching a TV show; you come back each week for a new episode, a continuation of the story.

“I think The Ickabog lends itself well to serialisation because it was written as a read-aloud book (unconsciously shaped, I think, by the way I read it to my own children), but it’s suitable for 7–9 year olds to read to themselves.” ~ J.K. Rowling

While it isn’t common for bestselling authors like Rowling, serialization is still very much alive. With online sites like Wattpad and Goodreads, writers have the opportunity to share their creative writing in installments for readers.

Here’s Why It Worked for J.K. Rowling

Timing is everything, as they say. Rowling’s decision to embrace serialization was not a preconceived idea; rather, she chose to release The Ickabog online (for free!) in response to the pandemic.

She saw a need for entertaining content, especially for kids stuck at home with nothing to do, and she met that need.

Her book gave kids something to look forward to each week. The serial novel created excitement around a story, excitement for reading. “Form follows function,” and in this case, traditional publishing wasn’t the answer.

The platform or distribution channel may change, but content is key.

Let’s say she released the story as an eBook or a free PDF, rather than in weekly installments… would it have made the same impact? I don’t think so. Kids would finish the book in one sitting and then be bored all over again.

As Rowling intended, The Ickabog emphasized an appreciation for “story time” and reading aloud. If I had kids (I don’t), I would have loved to read this book aloud to them.

In fact, that’s the way I read Harry Potter. My dad read the books aloud to me, even though I was perfectly capable of reading them on my own, because I was in third grade and my parents weren’t sure whether the content was appropriate. Then, of course, we fell in love with the books, and reading them aloud was a special tradition my dad and I shared.

Ultimately, Rowling increased accessibility. In releasing the book for free online (in 8 languages!), she made it available to more children. I think anything that inspires kids to read is a big “win.”

Not to mention, Rowling has pledged all author royalties from the published book to “groups who’ve been particularly impacted by the pandemic.”

Takeaway

The landscape is changing — you and I both know that. We have an opportunity; the world is hungry for more content. We are in desperate need of positive, joyful entertainment.

As a writer — as a creative — how can you provide value to your audience?

J.K. Rowling, with children of her own, knew that her audience was bored and stuck at home. Meet your audience where they’re at, and keep them coming back for more.

We need to “get creative” about being creative again. How will you adapt?
