- Description:
- It's important, novelist Terry Kay says, to keep the reader within the writer interested in the story.
Video recording of Georgia author Terry Kay speaking about writers being readers of their own work. He sits in an overstuffed chair in his living room. He wears blue jeans and a blue shirt. He faces forward. He begins by stating that the "discovery process ... is really the joy of writing." He describes how he writes and then reads the part of the work he has just finished. He asserts that, if the work keeps his attention and piques his interest, he then again becomes the writer and continues working on the piece.
Kay is the author of several novels and screenplays, a children's book, and a collection of nonfiction prose. His novel To Dance with the White Dog became a best-seller that was dramatized by the Hallmark Hall of Fame in a televised production. - Metadata URL:
