What to bring to the TPL novel writing workshop this Thursday
This Thursday night is the last of our scheduled writing workshops. This workshop is full up; if you haven't registered for it by now, I'm afraid you won't be able to attend. For those of you who have registered, please bring the following items:
- Pen and paper
- An outline or point-form summary of a novel project that you are working on or would like to work on
- An opening chapter or two, if you don't have a summary
We'll be exploring the following aspects of novel writing:
- How to plan and think about large projects such as novels
- Common places where a novel project can go off the rails
- The project cycle (revisiting Workshop 1's ideas)
- How to analyze your opening to make sure it's effective
Bringing an opening chapter or two will be useful for this last exercise. I'll present a simple method for looking at the beginning of a novel critically. Hopefully you'll find it useful.
I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday!

I apologize for missing the last workshop without notice. I couldn’t stop the migraines..
Might you be including any information from that on your next blog, or was this your last?
Thank you for the information.
