Are you a meticulous writer planner, or do you just wing it? In this session, award-winning novelist and writing coach John DeDakis will explore writing strategies designed to add variety to your palette of writing techniques. If you're a planner, you'll explore how seat-of-the-pants writing can help you connect the dots. If your style is more free-form, we'll look at how peeking ahead can inspire your writing in the here and now. This will be a writing lab, so make sure you have pen and paper, or your laptop.
