Have some Character – Stranger Magazine

Fri, 30 SEP. 1.30pm

Provocateur lecture: Clare from Stranger Collective.

 

Have some Character

Stranger is a creative content collective that gathers and nurtures the very best talents and ideas, to create words and deliver training that counts.

 

Our Process

  • Think

Do not write anything before you think / a shiver of ideas

  • Write

A kaleidoscope(만화경) of writers

  • Create

a bazaar of talents

 

Do words still have place?

Words don’t matter.

Above all else.

Image show you something but words make you imagine.

If words are used properly, used in right way, they have the POWER.

* Find the hook:

* Always consider the scene:

 

Writing with doors open/close à think about who to share with,~~

Just get it down!

 

Starting from WHY WHY WHY rather that starting from WHAT.
