SFW Annual Summer Writing Workshops!  

Road Trip Picture 

In preparation for our Road Trip contest this summer, we’re going to have a workshop on Wednesday, September 5th concluding our study of the Hero’s Journey. We’ve been studying archetypes this summer to try and improve our writing. In July we looked at the Hero’s Quest, in August we examined some of the heroes and heroines — their strengths and flaws. The September workshop will look at some of the other characters that populate stories. We look at villains, mentors, sidekicks, allies, and tricksters, using the work of Christopher Vogler and Joseph Campbell.  

For those who can’t make the workshop – you snowbirds and other traveling fiction writers — Andrea will be glad to e-mail you the workshop notes any time after September 5th. Just send her a note at: ALHAGNER@aol.com and request them.

Workshop Meeting Date:

Wednesday, September 5th – Selby Library 2nd Floor Conf. Room

Our regularly scheduled critique meeting will be held at Books A Million gulf Gate on Wednesday Septemeber 19th at 7:00 p.m.
