Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers’ September Western Slope Workshop will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2014, 9 a.m. at the Business Incubator Center, 2591 Legacy Way, Grand Junction.
Continental breakfast will be served at 9 a.m., The program starts at 9:15 a.m. and runs to about noon.
Mark Stevens’ program, ‘Plot without Plotting’, will teach writers how to write as you go, and explore your work in progress using the organic approach – staring with a blank page – including what you need to know about your characters, how much research is “enough,” new ways to think of settings, and how to develop and enhance conflict.
“Seat of the Pantsing” isn’t as scary as it sounds, but there will be surprises along the way,” says Stevens.
