Apologies for a shorter notice, time got away from us. On that subject, whether you're short on time, at a loss on how to complete a scene, can't grip a character's motivations, or just feel stuck, the same advice works: Don't panic. But saying that can be easy, while putting it into practice is harder. So, we'll be discussing ways to put this into practice.
Related to this, some of our members and frequent guests are feeling the pressure of looming deadlines, so taking a breath with other writers is a way to keep this from overwhelming anyone.
Our most important goal remains simple; encourage writers to keep writing, If we can help with that, we will. Beyond our current topic, we'll be exchanging some drafts again this week, mostly scripts, and probably doing more plot point brainstorming as well. In general, we keep trying to help each other out of the corners we have painted and written ourselves into. Essentially, we're still working on all the pesky bits of turning ideas into written documents.
We want to do anything we can to help you finish your current writing projects and start your next great project.
As usual, join us to discuss the various ways of building your story your way. We will offer input when it's asked for.
The MeetUp is free (as always), but most of us can't resist the food. Meet & Greet starts at 6 PM (don't forget about eating), the formal workshop usually starts at 7 PM, OK, 7-ish, and is frequently more of a discussion than an actual lesson. There will be plenty of time for hands on manuscript work before McAlister's closes at 9 PM. We're usually to the left as you come in, we look like writers.
