Woodstream Writers Workshops
Jamie Morris of Woodstream Writers offers:
1) HALF-DAY PLOT WORKSHOP for Fiction and Memoir Writers
BRAND NEW! . . . in Cocoa (Brevard County)
On Wednesday, October 13th, writers interested in exploring the ins and outs of plotting a narrative work are invited to join us from 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Using Joyce Sweeney’s Four Act plotting model to chart our progress, we’ll discuss concepts from The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler. These will include The Reluctant Hero, The Ordinary World, The Mentor, and The Special World. Participants will learn to apply the concepts we address to their own works-in-progress so as to create stronger, more compelling stories.
This workshop is limited to just six writers. Register soon!
The cost for the workshop, $125, includes beverages, lunch, and snacks. This workshop is being held in a private home that includes cat and dog residents.
2) ONE-DAY WRITING MARATHON
NEW LOCATION . . . in Mount Dora (Lake County)
On Saturday, October 16th, we invite writers at all levels, working in any genre, to join us at our wonderful retreat house in fabulous Mount Dora for a day-long Writing Marathon where, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., all writers will be invited to catch a spark from our writing prompts or to feed the flames of their longer works-in-process.
The cost for the day, $95, includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages.
Contact Jamie@WoodstreamWriters.com or 407.644.5163 to register or for information on either of these one-time writing events.
