Online Classes

for

August

Online Classes for the remainder of 2009

August: Spells of Unsticking: Blocked? Or just frustrated in your writing life? Emily Alward will help, when the words won’t come at all, or if you’re writing but it feels like trying to swim through molasses, maybe this class can help. ‘Blocks’ are real hazards in a writer’s life, but they aren’t all alike, nor do they all yield to the same solutions. In this class we take a look at the different kinds of roadblocks that may occur along a writer’s path and present some exercises for dealing with each type of problem. We’ll discuss some non-standard ways to plot or structure your story (help for pantsters!) Finally there will be a sample of actual Spells of Unsticking—freewriting exercises that can spark ideas, and serve as scenes to plug right into your work-in-progress.

April:  Is Hollywood Calling? Just because we can write books doesn’t mean we can write screenplays. Based on my popular 8 part newsletter article Is Hollywood Calling?

Whether you are a total newbie or an author of 30 novels, you can find tricks and processes that will challenge and freshen your productivity. No one wants to be a forgettable copycat. A change of approach to every aspect of your fiction writing may just be the spark you need at this moment in time. Take the journey with Sally Walker in examining eight steps in creativity.
