SESSION DESCRIPTION:

One of the more difficult tasks of writing fiction is transforming an initial idea into a plot that invites mystery and drives your story forward. In this session, you will learn how to use the elements of craft to discover the unique premise hiding in your material. We will also discuss how to develop that premise toward the deeper riches of your story, and the surprising yet inevitable turns.
