Mar 15 10am-1pm Conjuring Your Creative Story Muse: The Foundation for Writing Your Novels led by Dr. Skyler Fontana (Face-to-Face Workshop)

Many aspiring novelists write with the hope based on a myth that inspiration will come if they spend enough time at the keyboard. The result is time wasted on a flabby novel with no clear shape and a sagging pace.

In this professional workshop you will learn how asking creative questions and working with the essential building blocks of an effective story, can empower your writing so the stories you create are both transformative, powerful and unforgettable.

This workshop not only presents the essential elements of story building but provides tools and practical templates that help conjure the inspiration and insight you need to write better books.

These tools are applicable to novel authors as well as those telling stories in other media, including screenwriters and documentary filmmakers.

Location: 2 Blocks from Cahuenga & Vine in Hollywood CA 90038. Exact address provided only to those who sign up because attendance is limited at this interactive event. Free street parking is available around the location.

You will learn:

Why some stories and characters really are much better than others and how you can turn your idea into one that resonates with people.
Create great characters that will help you bring them to life and into your story world so they can tell their stories.
Learn practical steps for conjuring your "muse" so your writing is naturally much easier, much better, and much more enjoyable for you as an author.
