Indiana Author Award's Sponsored Writing Workshop with Larry D. Sweazy In-Person
The Big Secret: Starting and Finishing Your Novel
Here’s the big secret about writing novels: The hardest part of writing a novel is finishing it.
The day by day grind it takes to write a novel can be overwhelming. Great ideas tire out. Real life gets in the way. Doubt over takes the dream. In this interactive workshop, Larry D. Sweazy will share proven tips and help beginning and seasoned writers alike to build the skills that they need to finish that special novel.
Topics discussed will be time management, building a toolbox, finding support, writing tips and most importantly living life as writer — even if they’re not published. Students should come prepared to write in class.
Exercises include determining how many words can be written in a sitting, character creation, designing titles, writing query letters, and submission techniques.
This workshop is designed to jump start a writers dream and turn it into a happy reality.
