Writers' League of Texas - Summer Writing Retreat
July 29-August 3, Nacogdoches, Texas
The Defined Draft - Turning What You Have into What You Need
Once we have a certain critical mass of material in our fiction, we reach a point where we must ask hard questions of ourselves: What more is needed? What needs to go? How much of this draft was necessary for me to write in order to get to know the story but isn’t actually part of the streamlined narrative?

ONLINE! Better Prose Through Poetry: Using Rhythm, Repetition
and Other Poetic Tools in Your Writing
February 22, 2017, 6:30-9:30 pm
Poetry's economy of language and use of powerful images offers creative, succinct points of divergence for writers of all genres. This workshop will focus on specific poetic tools such as rhythm, repetition and alliteration to seed, deepen, and refine new and in-progress writing. We will study 3-5 poems and essays that engage poetic techniques and generate new material to incorporate into a current project or begin a new one.
