Do you have the instinct of a writer, but your subject eludes you? Does your subject feel too big, too vague, or perhaps too overwhelming? Do you want to write about a personal experience but fictionalize it? Using published examples, writing exercises, lively discussion, and expert instruction, this workshop will inspire from memory and imagination, the story you are meant to write with an ending that resonates.
