Here's what we learned from Bill Dietrich
On interview ethics: make sure what they said is what they meant. They won't remember what they said but they will remember what they meant.
becoming a writer = (talent and hard-work) x fate.
knowing your audience + business savvy >the stories you tell.
To be a successful author, write for the readers, not yourself. Who will read this? Who will buy it? Audience, audience, audience.
"Read, read, read. Write, write, write."
Want to make a character in your writing truly scary? Make that character relatable to your audience. Then when they do something awful, it will seem that much worse.
In his career as a writer, William Dietrich beat his head against a lot of closed doors - and then found open doors right next to them.
Much as I wish Dietrich was still turning out Northwest natural history books -- what a powerful voice for our environment he was -- his practicality and commitment to expanding his talents was surprisingly admirable.
