Hello, Writers!
Wow, it's been a shock and awe kind of week. For me, that's made it a bit difficult to focus on my work. So, I've been doing some edits and rewrites. I don't know why editing calms me. Maybe because I've already built the scene, so it feels easy to take out passive voice, add a sensory description (sound, smell, image...), and simply be in the time and space. It already exists.
I'm also excited because I have a novel nearing completion. Made it through the workshop process and now it's gone off to a few Beta Readers. It's all a journey.
The Writer Workshop has three online events scheduled this week:
Tonight, Monday, January 11, at 7:30 pm Eastern (4 pm Pacific): Feedback and Critique. If you're interested in reading 5-6 pages of your work and receiving feedback from other writers, join us. The cost is $5. Register for the Critique & Feedback webinar.
Tuesday, January 12, at 7pm. The Artist's Way Workshop. Beginning January 5th, I'm starting an Artist's Way Workshop. It'll run for thirteen weeks and we'll take the journey together through Julia Cameron's creative empowerment guide, The Artist's Way. This is the last week to join us. Register Today!
Thursday, January 14, at 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific): Fiction through Prompts. In this online, video conference webinar, you'll learn about a literary device and we'll write to a high-end prompt for 25 minutes and then, the group shares the results and offers feedback. The cost is $10. Register for the Prompt Writing webinar.
The Elements of Fiction webinars (Character, World Building, Plot, Pacing, and more) are available for on-demand viewing. Click to learn more....
