Conflict is the engine that drives a story forward, whether it is external (character versus society) or internal (character versus self). Conflict propels the narrative through character development or a sequence of events known as the plot. Using character development, dialogue, and exposition, conflict should be buried within in the narration and allowed to resurface like land mines in the course of the story. However, writers must be careful not to bury these kernels too deeply, stifling the reader and stalemating their storytelling process.

This class will take place on an IO group with possible Zoom lessons in addition.
When you sit down to write your novel do you jump right in and see where the story takes you? Or do you spend months working out every aspect of each character and scene before typing the first line? Most writers fall somewhere between the two. In this four-week workshop we’ll take the best of both pantser and plotter and combine them into a simpler way to structure your novel, which will keep your story focused without losing any creative freedom.

This class will take place on an IO group with possible Zoom lessons in addition.
When you sit down to write your novel do you jump right in and see where the story takes you? Or do you spend months working out every aspect of each character and scene before typing the first line? Most writers fall somewhere between the two.

All Pennwriters Courses are conducted on the Groups.io platform. Courses are run on this discussion
If your flash fiction piece from Timons‘s 2020 workshop ran a little too long, or your novel never got past the first scene, this may be the workshop for you. The sweet spot for magazine publication is the under-5K short story length. This course will focus on the non-flash part of that range, and on sharpening your short story skills.
We will write bits of stories in the exercises, rather than taking on a full story all the time. The idea is to fill your notebook with parts of future projects.
There will also be opportunities to send a finished piece (of the 2K-5K length) to the Instructor for critique.
