SUMMARY:Intro to the Novel
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help you understand the process of writing a novel so you can get started putting pen to paper. The workshop will focus on everything from generating ideas to developing characters to establishing point of view. Participants will discuss many elements of fiction (dialogue\, scene\, etc.) but the emphasis will be on discovering the writing process that works best for each writer.
