About this Event
Adults 18 & Up
That novel you swear you’ll finish (or start) someday? The note on your phone full of inspo pics and bits of dialogue? You know who you are…
Dust off the ideas and give that novel a nudge. In this workshop, we’ll discuss:
- How to turn an idea into a plot.
- How much (or how little) you need to know about your plot before you start writing.
- How to use dialogue and why you should.
- How much to show, how much to tell, and how to know which is which.
Whether you don’t know where to start or are stuck in chapter three, bring your questions and find strategies that work for you.
Class presented by Rosemary Clement.
