When Chip Cheek first came on the show, he told me a crazy story about his first draftWhen writing his novel Cape May, Chip wasn't 100% certain what time period it would be set in. So he wrote each chapter in a different era and, when he was finished, he met with his writing group and they all discussed the pros + cons of each, eventually settling on the 1950s.The amazing thing is that, to us readers it feels like it couldn't have been set any other time. This is the beauty of revision.When we set the theme for this season, I knew Chip was a must-have to go back through the first draft he referred to as a beautiful mess and find out how he made it into the finished book, Cape May.We get into many philosophical angles as well as revision mindset and I know you're going to love this episode. Happy listening!Full show notes with links: https://secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/chip-cheek-s2-ep3 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the first draft of his novel, Cape May, Chip Cheek made a beautiful mess.Chip wasn't sure what era he wanted his novel to be set in, so during his first draft, he wrote the book in all of them. How might he do that, you may ask. As he explained it, he started the first chapter in one time period, then tried another option in the next chapter and then so on through the whole book.He checked in with how each time felt, took the options to his writing group, and then decided based on which time had the most to offer the story. Brilliant! If you have one element of your book you're unsure of, try writing as many options as you can in the first draft. Let it be messy and see how each option feels on the page. Then upon revision, choose the best one and revise to match.This and many more groundbreaking ideas in this week's episode of the podcast. I've been buzzing ever since we recorded- I know you will be to when you listen.Full show notes with link here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/chip-cheek-150 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The dazzling, drunken, dirty (in an elegant, literary way) debut by Chip Cheek, CAPE MAY, is the result of a feverish writing spree and a measured revision process. Old friends Chip and James discuss learning to let go, having fun at the desk, selecting the right words in sex scenes, discovering characters through their dialogue, and changing ice cream to sherbet.

Click here to buy: https://adbl.co/2FNxO1o Cape May, New Jersey. September 1957. Newlyweds Henry and Effie arrive from Georgia for their honeymoon. It's the end of the summer season, and as they tentatively discover each other - walking on the deserted beach overlooking the vast, darkening Atlantic, clumsily making love in the dusty rooms of a distant relative's house - they begin to realize that everyday married life might be disappointingly different from their happy-ever-after fantasy. Just as they get ready to cut the trip short and leave Cape May, a light goes on in one of the houses on their street. In that one moment their destiny is altered forever. A glamorous set suddenly disrupt their newly-formed married life and sweep them up into their drama: there's Clara, a beautiful socialite who feels her youth slipping away; Max, a wealthy playboy and Clara's lover; and Alma, Max's aloof and mysterious half-sister, to whom Henry is irresistibly drawn. The empty town becomes their playground, and as they sneak into abandoned summer homes, go sailing, walk naked under the stars, marvel at the power and beauty of their bodies, experiment with love and sex, and drink massive amounts of gin, Henry and Effie slip from innocence into betrayal, with consequences that reverberate through the rest of their lives.
