Do you watch classic movies to improve your writing? Donna Mumma shares how doing just that can produce great fiction.
Welcome to Your Best Writing Life, an extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference held in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. I’m your host, Linda Goldfarb. Each week, I bring tips and strategies from writing and publishing industry experts to help you excel in your craft. I’m so glad you’re listening in. During this episode, you’ll learn to pick out writing techniques from watching classic movies to improve your writing.
My industry expert Donna Mumma perfected storytelling in her first-grade classroom, spinning tales exciting enough to settle a roomful of antsy six-year-olds. She loves to blend history, mystery, and faith in her novels, which include Fresh Scars, The Women of Wynton’s, and First Comes Marriage . . . Then Comes Murder. A native Floridian, she now lives on the Sunshine State’s west coast, sharing life with her family and her energetic collie, Duke.
