NEW 8-Week Online Mixed Levels Fiction: Writing Short Stories with Lindsay Tigue! LINK IN BIO 👆 Class Begins Monday, June 3, 2019 NOW ENROLLING! In this 8-week course we will create and learn about short fiction that is risk-taking and full of discovery. In Anne Lamott’s book Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, she says, “Because this business of becoming conscious, of being a writer, is ultimately about asking yourself, “How alive am I willing to be?” Together, we will work on allowing our writing to take us to surprising places, to show us what we are thinking, to bring us the spark of topics, places, and people we want to explore. Throughout the course, you will complete two creative drafts of stories and you will grow as a reader and writer through providing feedback on your classmates’ writing. NOTE: Students are required to purchase Thrill Me by Benjamin Percy. Individual story PDFs, including stories by Jenny Zhang, Sara Majka, Edward P. Jones, and Kelly Link, will be provided by the instructor via email. More info and registration here: https://writingworkshopsdallas.com/online-mixed-levels-fiction

Join us TOMORROW (4/7 at 3PM)! What makes an unforgettable antagonist in a novel? How do writers create characters like Annie Wilkes and Hannibal Lecter? In Shayla Raquel's seminar, Writing Wickedly Good Villains, you'll delve into the world of villainy and dig deep into the mind of your antagonist. For this class, we'll learn about: The past — What was your antagonist's life like? His/her childhood? The trigger — What triggered your antagonist to head down the wrong path? The transformation? The truth — How does your antagonist view the world and his/her goals? The interview — How well do you know your antagonist? The ones we root for — What makes us love a villain? The hero and the villain — Do they really mirror each other? And so much more! Please be prepared for writing exercises. If you have an antagonist in mind for this workshop, even better! This is an interactive class, so come prepared with plenty of questions. Registration: https://writingworkshopsdallas.com/writing-wickedly-good-villains
