MUSCLING-UP THE GUT OF YOUR STORY: A Novel-Writing Workshop

Do you ever wonder why stories you might've read seemed to go flat after the beginning? Do you feel your own story lacks the umph to retain a reader's attention? Well, if so, this workshop will instruct how to avoid writing boring middles of any story. Moving through each part of storytelling: the beginning, the middle and the end, participants will walk away from this class understanding how to develop a strong middle-section to their novel. This workshop is intended for the intermediate and advanced novelist.
(Previously taught at: 2009 PNWA Conference, 2009 several libraries with the KCLS, San Juan Library, A Book For All Seasons and many other venues)
