SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOP JANUARY 9TH
BY WRITER JEAN HEGLAND - 27 ATTENDEES Almost every successful story is fueled by conflict. This workshop used brief lectures, lively discussions, and supportive writing exercises to explore how writers of fiction and memoir can take full advantage of the opportunities for storytelling, plot formation, and character development that conflict provides. Malcolm has a book signing/reading event coming up at Gallery Bookshop on Saturday, January 16th at 6:30 p.m.
