At some point in a fiction writing project \, whether at the start or halfway through\, it can be helpful to step bac k\, consider what we have\, and give it a more purposeful shape that can i lluminate and direct all the promise in the material. This involves formul ating a \;premise\, a clarifying distillation of the project&rsquo\;s most interesting and important aspects\, which forces us to ask crucial qu estions about its narrative design\, its most valuable character and their desires\, its central conflict and central dramatic question\, etc. We&rs quo\;ll look at all the steps of this process\, which ultimately requires an examination of ourselves and the 'essential something' that we want to express about who we are as a writer and a person in the world.

Th is workshop is in partnership with StoryStudio Chicago. This program will be held virtually on Zoom. \;
