HERE ARE YOUR FOUR GOALS WE’LL ACCOMPLISH IN THIS INTENSIVE:
1. Understand and embrace your writing setpoint. Just as with body weight, we all have a writing setpoint—a natural length that suits our message and determines our ideal genre. 1,000 words is the mean, from which you assess your need to unpack and flesh out or shrink-wrap and tighten.
2. Learn to optimize your setpoint:
A. If it tends toward shortness, we’ll learn when/if/how to unpack and expand what might actually be the bones of your outline, where to put the flesh.
B. If your pieces tend to run long, we’ll look at when/if/how to deftly “shrink wrap” your piece without losing a trace of flavor.
3. Learn to preserve the narrative arc. All pieces and genres need this little wave of intrigue, no matter what length. We’ll look at and understand how to make mini or maxi pieces arc effectively.
4. Gain full confidence with your writing setpoint, no matter where it tends. You’ll be able to move forward with finishing work, knowing how your “setpoint” allows you to do that – and never again having that Zeno’s hare feeling that the all-important end is not attainable.
All levels writers welcome.
