Courting Disaster to Soup Up Your Story
Part of the FBCW's 2023 Writers' Summit
Course Information
Recorded on May 9th 2023
The writer's instinct is to avoid collapse (of ideas, narrative, or motivation), yet disaster is our friend. This workshop will show how disasters help with structure, with inspiration, and with world and character building, when what looks like a story problem unlocks hidden dimension. We’ll even tackle that greatest of writerly disasters: self-doubt.
