Writing Workshop--Noveling |
Let's write
long! Is a novel a really long short story or are there other
differences? Do you have a novel up your sleeve but need help
getting it out? Are you stuck at chapter one? Or are you simply
an avid reader curious about novel writing? We'll scrutinize
multiple approaches writers take to create successful longer
narratives. We'll also learn how to assess and employ techniques
of heralded writers while gaining writing craft tools to further
cultivate our own big, storytelling voice. To prepare, read a
novel (or five!) and be ready to talk about it. Don't miss this
one day workshop--rich in content and inspiration. One hour
lunch break provided.
