Karen's Class

[PERMISSION TO FORWARD]

Is it your writing goal to launch a new book in 2007? Another 4-week online plotting workshop is just around the corner to help pave your way!

Topic: The "W" Plot…or The Other White Meat for Plotters ©
Speaker: Award-Winning Author Karen Docter
Date: M-W-F, 11/27/06 - 12/22/06
Fee: $20

Workshop: One of the staples of any writers' group conversations is the plot. It's integral to every novel, holds everything together. It's one of the scariest things an author faces when s/he decides, hey, I want to write a novel! Let the "W" plotting technique take the fear factor out of your plotting. Karen analyzes the “Romancing the Stone” movie using the technique and discusses detailed plot points for each of the main characters including the villain. Exercises will help students to uncover the skeletons of their own novels. Plotter or "Pantser", this is a hands-on-your-own-book workshop designed for the novice and experienced writer.

Instructor: Karen Docter won the Category (Series) Romantic Mystery Suspense unpublished division of the 2005 Daphne du Maurier Award.
