We'd rather not talk about it, but we all have them. The rejected stories. The stories that don't quite work. The stories we've stuck in a drawer and would rather forget about. Why not give one of your orphaned stories a chance for a new life? Bring it to Suzy Spraker's REVISION AS WRITING workshop on Saturday, November 4 for revision rescue.
Suzy Spraker is a fiction writer who has been published in The Greensboro Review, The Southern Review, Fiction, Confrontation, and the Berkeley Fiction Review. She teaches creative writing at the University of Central Florida.
Writers often see revision as a kind of punishment for not getting the story right the first time, but review is a natural step in the writing process. In this workshop, Suzy Spraker will help you make friends with revision. You'll practice strategies for characterization, structure, and scene and learn how revision is an opportunity for your story. Bring a story or chapter to work on.
Time is short. Register today.

Holly Riggs is a thriving creative person in Orlando, a wonderful accomplishment all by itself.
However, she cannot tell you how many people have uttered these words to her, "I wish I could do that."
Whether its about writing poetry, performing, Drawing, making jewelry, her response is always the same: "YOU CAN" She generally gets a half smile and nod and that's the end of it. It has not been enough for her to believe it; those people with unrealized creative dreams have to believe in themselves.
Holly says, "Even people with creative careers get creatively blocked. So I did something about it. I created an interactive learning outlet for everyone who as ever dreamed of doing that one creative thing, OR people who just need a little boost creatively. I have a very special workshop coming up which includes writing, intuitive drawing, breathing techniques, and more. I would like to invite you and all your friends to join us. Only one catch: there are 12 spots available and once I meet that quota, we will have to schedule for a later date. So get back to me asap, and we will get started on making creative dreams your reality."

When: Saturday, Oct. 17 11am-5pm
How much: $75
What's included: Lunch, Workbook, and 6 hours that are all about YOU
