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.
