Write Before You Write! Outlining, Planning, Plotting with Jennifer Ziegler

Saturday, December 10, from 1 - 4 PM

Location: St. Edwards University, Trustee Hall 104, Austin

Do you ever start a manuscript and end up lost in your own story?  Do you know your plot but still find that your writing is blocked?  Or do you have a terrific idea for a book but are unsure where to start?  If your answer is yes to any of the above, you might benefit from some “prewriting” techniques.  No matter what your project is – nonfiction, article, essay, short story, or fiction of any genre – prewriting can help you shape your concept, lay out a basic structure, better understand setting and character, and spot potential problems before they can throw you off track.

This fun and informational workshop will look at:

n      Pinpointing problems that can stall a project

n      Using outlines or note cards to prep structure

n      Developing characters

n      Exploring and understanding setting

n      Settling on the right tone or “voice” for a piece
