For those of you interested in writing, I interviewed Lisa Jewell about how she writes her best-selling twisty thrillers without knowing the plot beforehand. Or even having any idea where she's headed. jojomoyes.substack.com/p/i-need-my-...
"I need my character to talk to me and tell me things because there's so much I don't know."
A conversation with bestselling novelist Lisa Jewell about trusting your subconscious to come up with your plot.
