The enduring, paradoxical themes and stories you carry in your history, observation, and passions are the wellspring of fiction. Inventory and explore their resonance in storytelling and writing exercises while practicing fundamental narrative and scene skills. Suitable for all levels of experience, the workshop is intensive, but it is about writing, not therapy.
