It’s time to switch gears a bit. In the first half of this workshop, we established how you write. Now, it’s time to get clear on what you write and why you write it.

In this lesson:

  • Explore symbolism, metaphors, specificity & the stuff that makes your writing, yours

  • Choosing a POV

  • How to switch narrators mid-story for maximum impact

  • Turn villains from your personal life into mythical figures so at least they're good for somethin’
