This autumn I will teach a series of writing classes, following in the footsteps of Ursula K. Le Guin (Steering the Craft) and Margaret Atwood (Negotiating with the Dead). The first series will focus on the practical aspects of being a writer, such as finding the time to write. The second one will be about storytelling technique, creating characters and seeing endless plot possibilities. I will also offer a special weekend workshop about the creative process, what happens in the brain and how to enact your characters so that you feel what they feel in your own mind and body. If you’ve ever been angry with your characters for what they did while you planned something entirely different, then you know what I mean.
