Session 2: Outline

Session 2
Getting Started & Story Mechanics

In this session we're going to look at how we can get started and shift gears from freestyle to focus, and we'll take a first look at some story mechanics, or how stories work. This will be especially useful for editing your own and others' work.

We will also look at another piece of writing from the group, and give some awesome, helpful feedback. :)

Specifically, we'll look at:

1. Getting started

  • Writing prompts feedback: how did it work for you? What did you discover/observe?
  • How to segue from freestyle to focused writing: finding your way into the project; character; chronology.

2. Story Mechanics

  • Theme vs. Plot, Idea vs. Action
  • The Central Dramatic Question
