Books are "born" in different ways; blogs can contribute
mightily to finishing a book-length project.
In this mini-workshop, Lisa Friedman of the Amsterdam
Writing Workshops defines ways of developing your material.
The key question: How to blog with a finished book in
mind--and get compelling material on the screen and page.

“I started without knowing the first thing about being a writer. And suddenly, after 10 minutes, I felt I was part of something. That there was this group of people with the same fears and doubts. The interaction was very useful, as was the confidence we gained through on-the-spot exercises and critical thinking.”

ReplyDelete“I learned that posting is separate from "doing"--and that it's the (uncensored) doing that's all-important in mastering daily writing. I learned about back story, point of view, structure, character, style--in short, all those elements that are important to any storytelling, be it blog or book or anything in between.”
