The labyrinth is almost finished. Nothing like a bit of walking meditation to spark a writer's creativity!

Interested in attending our Narrative Structure retreat June 10-11, but missed the registration deadline? You're still in luck! We have a couple of places left. Call or email, and I will be happy to send you the information you need.

Our rustic labyrinth in progress. . on schedule to be ready by June 10!

A message from Phillip:

Our focus for the June Retreat will be both instructive and challenging.  As with our prior workshops on characterization, point of view, and mechanics, we will initially focus on one fictional technique—in this case, how the overall organization of the story or essay can help to advance its message.  We’ll review traditional plot structures (chronological, framed, cinematic) in both short forms and novel-length works and then experiment with other possibilities (weaving, narrative leaps, juxtaposition, omission).  In other words, we’ll test the boundries of narrative structure.   As with our other retreats, we intend our exercises to be generative, our critiques to be helpful (and comprehensive, not limited to the retreat’s focus), the camaraderie amiable, and the food delicious.          

 

All writers and writer wanna-bees--only four more days to take advantage of the 10% discount for our June retreat on Narrative Structure. Hope to see you here!
