Many of you know I teach online classes exclusively for OIRW which is a chapter of the Romance Writers of America. I always try to add new classes each year. I brainstormed ideas for 2020 and came up with the idea of teaching a three month writing retreat where all classes are taught online. Everything you need to know about writing a novel and you don’t even have to leave your house to take a class. It’s divided up into three parts (you can pick and choose one, two, or all three). It will run June, July and August, but here’s the great news. In December, I’m going to be teaching a free writing class, six lessons, based on the retreat to give students a sample of what’s in store. It’s not just for romance novel writers but all writers (same goes for the summer retreat). Like the retreat, the classes are posted online through e-mail and a Yahoo Group, and you can read them at your leisure…I know how busy December can be for lots of people.
Here’s what’s on offer this December and a link (scroll down until you reach December), where you can sign up. I’d love to ‘see’ you in class. And feel free to share this with anyone who you think might be interested.
Lesson One-Setting Goals
Lesson Two-Outlining a Plot
Lesson Three-Exercises to Improve Your Dialogue Writing Skills.
Lesson Four-Packing Your Story with Emotion
Lesson Five-Five Tips for Writing an Attention Grabbing synopsis
Lesson Six-Self-Editing Tips
This class will run from Dec 2nd to Dec 13th
