Write Here! Write Now! Salem > Keynote
From Willamette Writers Salem
Saturday, May 4, 2019 // 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Scottish Rite Center, Salem 4090 Commercial Street SE Salem, OR
I’ll be giving the keynote speech at this full-day workshop that focuses on getting more of your own writing done! 10-minute mini-lessons will provide you with tips on how to overcome some common writing-related fears and productivity difficulties. Each mini-lesson will be followed by a 45-minute writing block where you can either focus on your current work-in-progress, or use our writing prompts as inspiration to write something new. Either way, get ready for a fun-filled and informative day that will bump up your wordcount and boost your confidence!
Over the course of seven creative, productive, resource-packed hours, writers will:
- Take part in six author-led Mini Writing Lessons
- Write for six sustained 45-minute blocks, designed to maximize productivity, alongside seasoned writers who will offer encouragement, support, and advice
- Meet one-on-one with an author who will read your (short!) excerpts, troubleshoot your ideas, doctor your plots, and otherwise help you develop your writing in a private 12-minute writer consultation session
- Attend keynote opening and closing remarks from bestselling and award winning authors
- Share (included!) lunch and conviviality with fellow writers
Registration will begin at 9:30.
