Your Favorite Book Opening: 
Why It Works 
[April 2022 Group Call #2] 🎉

 ☕️💗
Hi Friend,

We look forward to reconnecting with you this week for Call #2, the first group call of the month.

Thursday, April 21, 2021 at 5:30pm PT / 6:30pm MT / 7:30pm CT / 8:30pm ET

Calls last up to 90 minutes.

Please RSVP. Thanks!

** This week: SPECIAL -- We're not doing feedback for this call. Instead... see below...



Our Focus:
Your Favorite Book Opening: 
Why It Works 

As we've doing for a few calls, we'll analyze together one of your favorite authors to discover what works, how, and why it works.

Tools and items we'll discuss and use:
  • Point of view (1st, 2nd, or 3rd person, and close/limited/omniscient)
  • Who is the main character?
  • What do they want?
  • What is in their way?
  • What is the setting? How do we know?
For this time, we have Beth and Nicole on deck.

Send ahead of time the first 100-200 words of your favorite author's novel -- in the genre you're working in or close to it -- so we can analyze together what you love about them. And integrate that awareness back into our creative process.


And together we'll also:

-- do our Metaphor Check-ins & Good News

-- share next steps and announcements

  NEXT: For May and June 2022, we'll analyze the first 100-200 words of each of your openings.

Bring your questions, shares, and celebrations to the call.

We'll also have a good time connecting!

Thanks!
