I’m returning to the Pikes Peak Writers Conference, April 17-19, in Colorado Springs, CO.
In addition to being a Keynote Speaker, I’ll be teaching the following workshops:

MICE Quotient – Craft of Writing – All Levels

In this workshop, we learn about the simple organizational structure of the MICE Quotient. Pretty much every story, fictional or nonfictional, can be explained through this fairly simple organizational structure. Together we learn how to make this structure work for you when writing.

Middles and Try-Fail Cycles – Craft of Writing – All Levels

Middles are often seen as the sagging portion of any story line, when in reality most of any piece of writing is spent in the middle. In this workshop, we learn how to set up and depict interesting try-fail cycles for your characters.
