RWA2018 Audio: Writing for Your Id

Writing for Your Id
Speaker: Jennifer Lynn Barnes, PhD
Why are some books irresistible, addictive, and mind-bogglingly satisfying to read? In this session, Dr. Jennifer Barnes explores the psychology of enjoyment and gratification, as well as outlines how seasoned writers can get back in touch with the way they wrote before their inner editors took over and increase the appeal of their books by writing what they love and simultaneously appealing to hard-wired preferences in the human brain.
