Probably in fall sometime I'll run another one of these - if past participants could say something about the classes that would be cool.

I like them, but I'm biased.

July 5 is soon - I'd like the first exercise sent to me by July 3 please.
I'll be sending the second one along soon.

Really looking forward to this!

I see POV like a camera lens - maybe because I'm a film guy. But I do think in terms of medium shots, long shots, and close-ups. The narrative distance created between the writer and the character is fascinating, and deeply affects storytelling.

Week 1 topic: POV
June 6, 2025 at 11:10 PM
A couple of spots left.
I'll be sending out the details on the first exercise next week. Lemme know if you want in with this fun bunch.

This clinic focuses on one idea a week - I will share some information and what I've gleaned over the years - and then all the participants will share their work.
Classes are 90 minutes (on Zoom), with a discussion board on Discord for those who want.

Few spots left.
