SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Power Your Memoir with Mystery: How Curiosity Fuels Craft
DESCRIPTION:The fuel that runs the engine of all good writing is our uncertainty…and the true curiosity of the writer.\n\n\n\nFor memoir and nonfictionIncluded in the Season Pass \n\n\n\nToo often\, writers of true stories lock in early on what they know—times\, places\, apparent facts—and what results is a flat retelling of the past. But memoir is essentially an act of discovery. As writers\, we must enter our work filled with questions and true uncertainty\, or we risk pushing the story where we think it should go rather than where it needs to be. As acclaimed memoirist Abigail Thomas warns\, “If your memoir ends where you thought it was going to end\, you aren’t doing it right.”The engine of good writing is fueled by the curiosity of the writer\, the process of thinking aloud on the page\, and uncovering what we didn’t know the morning we sat down to begin our memoir or story.  \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will look at how other writers have used their uncertainty as fuel for the story\, how to locate your own questions\, and how reconnecting with what you don’t know can revive a stalled project. There will also be prompts and time for questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nSEE how questions within your process allow for discovery and surprise\n\n\n\nLEARN strategies for incorporating “what you don’t know” into nonfiction\n\n\n\nUNDERSTAND how questions and curiosity drive memoir\, nonfiction\, and even fiction\n\n\n\nENGAGE with a series of short prompts to find the questions in your own work \n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for writers who… \n\n\n\n\nat the beginning stages of a memoir or nonfiction project\n\n\n\nwho feel stalled on their current essay\, story or book\n\n\n\nwith a story they want to tell\, who feel unsure why readers will be interested enough to read it\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\nPreviously offered August 2023 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of our most popular and beloved presenters\, DINTY W. MOORE is author of the memoirs Between Panic & Desire and To Hell With It\, and the writing guides Crafting the Personal Essay and The Mindful Writer\, among other books.
