Writing a great short story |

Danielsuit — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 11:46:36 +0000

Figuring out how to tell a good story has changed my life.

I spent years writing stories that a lot of people almost really liked. They were good--clearly I had talent--but somehow they were also not very interesting. This situation made me feel pretty terrible.

Maybe you've experienced something similar, or you have stories you want to finish, or you've vowed to take your own writing more seriously this year. If so, I would like help.

You’ll leave the class with lots of ideas to draw on whenever you get stuck with your plotting. It’s all about working out which approaches work best for you.
