Indigo Recommends: McCormack Writing Center, Craft Intensives / Seeing As Story: A New Angle on Plot with Jenny Xie / Sat., Sept. 26, 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. PT, 12:00–3:00 p.m. ET

"A story has a way of seeing. It has a way of understanding and making meaning—an inherent logic that arises out of what happens, what is explained, and what is left unsaid. How does a writer construct story out of this way of seeing? How do you control the narrative voice, balance the views of individual characters, and guide the reader’s attention across scene and setting to construct a world that feels real and compelling? In this session, we’ll study how POV can open up new angles on plot—how zooming in and out, skipping ahead or drawing out, can create narrative energy that’s an implicit answer to the question: And then what?"

"It’s another one of 'those days.' You know the kind I mean. It’s an unremarkable Tuesday, and I feel the bleak blahs coming on and a deadline peering over my shoulder. But fear not, brain, it’s a creativity ritual to the rescue! So, I pop on the old headphones, plug in to a cherished playlist or album, and bop around the creaky floors of my office for a dance break. Right now, I’m favoring the disco-infused no wave of 'Press Color' by Lizzy Mercier Descloux to energize my stagnant afternoons. The music, while certainly beloved, is not as important. The movement…that’s a good start for sure…but this is really about the ceremony of it all.

"Is there an object or practice that helps facilitate your writing and/or artistic process? Something even a bit magical perhaps? These articles of kismet might set the right mood, like a waft from a bubbling pot of coffee chugging away in the morning. They may be more of a personal trinket that..."

From pets to apparel, Indigo office and communication specialist Nicki Yowell rounds up some of our team's favorite magical items for their process in "Writing Talismans and Spells for Creativity."

🎉 Congratulations to author Matthew Wong Foreman and Indigo client and publisher 7.13 Books on the publication of "Sunset at Lion Rock." The book is officially released today!

"Sunset at Lion Rock is a coming-of-age novel set in the Aughts of a post-Handover Hong Kong, after the British returned the city to China in 1997. The son of a British father and a Hong Kong Chinese mother, Eric teeters between cultures, faiths, and histories, confused about everything. His childhood, shaped by his devoutly Buddhist mother, aunt, and grandmother-who believe he's the reincarnation of his dead uncle-haunts him at every turn.

"Hong Kong is a place defined by collective amnesia about its own history and cultural significance. Amidst the chaos of his life in this fractured city, the one thing that Eric develops is his exquisite sense of poetry and..."
