"EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL" writing workshop
I feel strongly that every person on the planet has a story to tell that can positively affect the world around them.
If you are someone who wants to write and has no idea how to go about telling your story (or needs help in getting your story off the ground and into fruition) then this is the workshop for you!
The outcomes & some of the things we will crush and dismantle here are:
-Writer's block (CRUSHED)
-Your lack of faith in your writing ability (CRUSHED)
-Your uncertainty about whether this is any good or whether other people will resonate when they read it (CRUSHED)
-Your fear of sharing this with the world (CRUSHED)
-Among others...
ONE: THE INSPIRATION
-45 minute zoom/facetime.
-What you'll need: your computer, notepad, and a piece of writing from another author that you have read that you love.
-Together we nail down what story it is you want to tell.
-I give you the tools and techniques to succeed in writing the first draft of your story.
TWO: THE FIRST DRAFT!
-45 minute zoom/facetime.
-You did it! You now have in your hands a glorious and messy first draft.
-So, we get right to it. We read your piece and talk about it.
-I help you unblock and go deeper into the reservoirs of your creativity.
-I am here to teach you how to get out of your own way and get rid of the beliefs you may have that have previously held you back from taking this step in exploring your writing.
THREE: SLAYING THE EDITING DRAGON
-45 minute zoom/facetime + one 15 minute phone call to check in on your process.
-You are walking out of the forest of creation holding the decapitated head of a slayed dragon that is also nicknamed 'the editing process'.
Come on, let's get a little kick ass here. Not everything in writing has to be soft. I mean, yes, let's be soft, but let's also be kick ass.
-Together we navigate the adventurous and sometimes treacherous process of editing.
-Remember, editing is NOT about correcting grammar and spelling, that is NOT what I'm talking about when I'm talking about editing. When I'm talking about editing I'm talking about getting down to the essence of what you have to say in your writing, I'm talking about fine tuning your bulky rock of words into a glittering diamond of energy.
FOUR: THE MANIFESTATION
-One hour zoom/facetime.
-We went from having a flicker of an idea of what could be to a fully-fledged manifestation.
-We talk about what you discovered.
-We read your final draft out loud.
-We discuss where you want to take this from here.
-I'm going to elucidate for you all of the different ways you can get this writing out into the world, whether you pitch it to magazines or quarterlies for publication, launch a newsletter to promote it and future writing, self-publish it as a stand-alone short story on Amazon, or seek to expand it and find an agent for your work.
