Hello Writers!
While there's still a bit more work to do getting my grades in, I finished grading the big final portfolios for my online class at SNHU. It's a huge undertaking to grade these 12-15 page writing career plans, with each taking about 30 minutes to read and comment on. The upside is getting to see the plans writers finishing their MFA degrees are about to embark upon. During these trying, odd times it's super to see students looking ahead to their writing futures with enthusiasm and hope.
The Writer Workshop has two online events scheduled this week:
Tonight, Monday, August 31st, at 7:30 pm Eastern (4 pm Pacific): Feedback and Critique. If you're interested in reading 5-6 pages of your work and receiving feedback from other writers, join us. The cost is $5. Register for the Critique & Feedback webinar.
Thursday, September 3rd, at 1 pm Eastern (10 am Pacific): Fiction through Prompts. In this online, video conference webinar, you'll learn about a literary device and we'll write to a high-end prompt for 25 minutes and then, the group shares the results and offers feedback. The cost is $10. Register for the Prompt Writing webinar.
The Elements of Fiction webinars (Character, World Building, Plot, Pacing, and more) are available for on-demand viewing. Click to learn more....
