2021 Virtual Workshop:
Problem Busting workshop
What are your biggest problems when you try and write? It might be the “strong start/mushy middle” problem, or the “I’ve been working this piece to death and I can’t see it clearly anymore” problem, or many others. The class will involve frank conversation about solving the problems that trip us up, coupled with short exercises, as a way to help writers figure their way out of a tight spot and transform their fiction.
This is meant as a master class, but writers of all levels are welcome. Please bring in two paragraphs that illustrate one of your writerly problems.
