Gail Anderson-Dargatz: Finding your story when writing from real life
Details
This isn't an event I'm organizing, but it's one you might be interested in attending. Gail is awesome!
Event description:
Whether our project is fiction or memoir, when writing from real life inspirations, we tend to run into the same common issues in our early drafts. Gail will outline some of these problem areas and offer ideas on how to deal with them. Bring your questions and concerns about writing from real life!
