February Meeting
SPOOC Your Fiction!
Jump-start your fiction by crafting the two sentence core of your story. Acclaimed novelist Deborah Chester advocates this method for making sure there’s enough story to your story – by writing down the Situation, Protagonist, Objective, Opponent and Climax in a concise two-sentence format before you begin. It’s a great tool for starting a novel, getting one back on track, or even creating an effective elevator pitch. Come try it out with us!

Tim Waggoner has the answer. He calls it Deep POV – going beyond the surface to dig deep into your character’s point of view. Learn how to bring out your character’s deeper thoughts and feelings and truly engage your reader in their world!
Be sure to join us for this special event. Tim Waggoner has over 40 novels, a Stoker Award and several recent movie novelizations under his belt. He’s also a great teacher – he teaches Creative Writing at Sinclair College in Dayton! We’re very excited to have him join us!
