SUMMARY:Headlights All the Way: Navigating the Murky Middle with David Farrow
DESCRIPTION:You’ve written an excellent opening for your story\, introduced some characters\, incited some incidents\, and are ready to launch into the meaty parts of your plot – but then you hit a roadblock. Now what? The second act of fiction stories (often called the “murky middle”) tends to be where most writers stall on their projects. In this course\, we’ll take writer’s block head-on and practice some strategies to push through the more challenging sections of our drafts. Using outlines\, collaborative brainstorming\, generative prompts\, and more\, students will leave the course better equipped to write through that murky middle. \n\n\n\nThis course is geared toward fiction writers of any level (both short fiction and novels\, in any genre) who have hit a roadblock in the middle of their manuscript.

SUMMARY:Revision: Crack the Shell of Your Manuscript (with Celia Jeffries)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for an online memoir workshop with Celia Jeffries (Fiction/Nonfiction\, 2008): \n\n\n\nCynthia Occelli says “for a seed to achieve its greatest expression\, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks\, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth\, it would look like complete destruction.” In this two-hour workshop you may tap on the shell of your work\, or you may crack it wide open. Either way\, you can expect to shake things up enough to see your work in a new light. We will write in response to a few prompts and you will leave with exercises to help your manuscript grow. For writers of all levels and genres. Limited to 12 writers.

SUMMARY:Intro to Memoir - 4 weeks (with Celia Jeffries) - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:We all have memories that stay with us. Somewhere inside them is usually a story. It may be highly subjective\, but more often than not\, it holds a universal truth. How do you get to that truth? How do you create a story that has energy and depth and speaks to the reader? This workshop will focus not only on WHAT is being written but also on HOW it is written. Through writing exercises\, readings\, and discussions of both nonfiction and fiction\, we will explore techniques to awaken the personal story on the page. While writers will not be submitting work to the group for feedback\, there will be lots of opportunities after in-class writing to share with the group for brief\, supportive\, on-the-spot feedback.  \n\n\n\nLimited to 10 writers. \n\n\n\nWHEN: 4 Weeks: Tuesdays\, February 7 – 28 (1 – 3pm EST) \n\n\n\nWHERE: Online\, via Zoom video conference (live)
