Lighting the Way for Writers
I've always thought of myself as lucky. Okay, not Florida Lotto lucky. But tickets to Bruce Springsteen or Hollywood Studios lucky. Last year at a Tampa Bay Area writing workshop taught by author Joyce Sweeney, I won something equal to a writing lotto. My name was drawn to participate in Sweeney's online Advanced Fiction course. Lucky me!
The course started October 6th and it's amazing. I understand structure now in a way I never have before. What's more important than that? Tips on writing and in-depth information n characters, scenes, and plot are part of the course too. And, it's only week five of a ten-week course.
Whether you're a new writer and take Sweeney's Fiction Writing Essentials, her Picture Book Writing Essentials or are interested in the Advanced Fiction course, you won't be disappointed.
FYI - This is the first online course I've ever taken, so I was nervous. But the format's easy. Plus, I get to watch and listen to Sweeney present on video and then play it again to take notes.
I don't know when another class begins, but she has a Webinar on the Plot Clock, 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12th. The plot clock is a tool useful to both beginners and advanced writers. The Webinar's cost also fits writers' budgets at $19.
