Workshops will be held from 5:00 to 7:45 pm on Tuesday April 2nd, Tuesday April 9th, Thursday April 18th, Tuesday April 23rd and Tuesday April 30th. A wide range of topics will be covered, such as the writing process, developing characters, pacing a story and creating tension. Participants may attend one or all classes.

Workshop leader Larry Michael Lounsbury is a local writer pursuing a Master of Fine Arts at Goddard College in Vermont.
Financial Literacy for Writers
DD’s recent post on financial literacy got me thinking how understanding loans and spending are crucial for college students and perhaps especially for those studying writing. Writers often spend more time with words than numbers and so one has to consider how at risk they are for higher costs or debt. For example, what’s your basic knowledge on spending? Take this quiz to see.
Though clearly dramatic as only a talk show persona can be, Suze Orman presented a resounding and frustratingly accurate speech last year on student loan debt that some have commented should be required viewing for beginning college students.
Student loans are serious business, and student writers should understand that their signature dedicates them to clear responsibility.

Pixar Storytelling
A MFA Creative and Professional Writing program recently posted storytelling rules from Pixar. Some items in the list function as general advice, some as writing prompts. If you’re looking for ideas or merely like Pixar’s work, either way, it’s worth a look.
