Episode 90: Write What You Don’t Know with James Navé and Allegra Huston

What happens to our writing when we begin with an I-don’t-know mindset? Our work becomes more loose, more fresh, more playful, more true. We speak with authors and teachers James Navé and Allegra Huston about their book Write What You Don’t Know: 10 Steps to Writing with Confidence, Energy, and Flow. It’s a practical and fun episode with many tips for escaping the rational mind and allowing your imagination to take the lead. 

Allegra Huston and James Navé are co-founders of Imaginative Storm Writing Workshops and the publishing company Twice 5 Miles. They have been teaching multi-day and single-day writing workshops together and separately for over 20 years. For five years they taught a creativity retreat for screenwriting students at the National University of Ireland, Galway, and both have also taught for the University of Oklahoma OSLEP program.
