Instructor: Dinitia Smith
The focus of this workshop will be on the participants’ own writing. Some people will bring to Assisi projects already underway, others will be starting new ones. We’ll be examining how to create and improve on a story line, the writing of realistic dialogue, and the barriers that sometimes arise as we attempt to complete a project. We’ll also be emphasizing the craft of revision.
The goal is to provide everyone with a supportive, yet challenging, environment so that they leave Assisi having achieved real progress in their goals.
