Insider Workshop Description:
If you are despairing about the state of your novel, take heart. Writing is fighting. It is time to take stock of your words, and take control of them. Russell will talk about strategies for tweaking, massaging, gutting, and jumpstarting your novel. Sometimes all that is necessary is a different point of view; sometimes a defibrillator; sometimes major surgery. If your words aren’t singing, if your novel has become an unwieldy beast, if you despair of ever typing The End, have hope – there are proven methods of getting you to the literary finish line.
Insider Workshop Schedule:
1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
