Day 1: Pattern and Structure in Narrative
Most of us have a million characters and stories floating around our brains, but these ideas can often feel nebulous and abstract without a frame to arrange and explore them. In “Pattern and Structure in Narrative,” Rob Crowl will guide participants through various strategies and exercises designed to help writers organize stories and characters they’ve never set down, the ones collecting dust on their shelves and hard-drives, or those still in process. Writers will also get to investigate the various ways successful novelists, memoirists, and short storyists have patterned and structured their stories to assist in the organization of their own projects.
