Janice Hardy Events and Workshops for 2020
By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy
This year's event schedule isn't as hectic as last year's--though I suspect more will be added before we get further into 2020. If you're looking for some in-person craft workshops, give one of these a try.
Here are the conferences I'll be at and the workshops I'll be teaching (so far):
February 20-21: Florida Heritage Book Festival Writers Conference
Renaissance Marriott World Golf Village Resort St. Augustine, FL
February 20: Full Day Workshop 8am-4pm: Kicking Your Writing Up a Notch
It’s not uncommon for writers to hit a point where they know their writing is good, but it’s not where they want it (or need it) to be. They could use a little help to push their skills and story to the next level, but they’re not sure how to get that push or where to apply it in their manuscripts. In this workshop, you’ll learn ways to improve your writing and story developing skills to take your novel from nice to “Wow!” From macro-level structure techniques, to micro-level word choices, this full-day of exercises and tips will dig into your writing and polish the gems within. Bring your laptop or pages and be ready to write!
February 21: Understanding the Scene: The Engine of Your Story
Scenes are the building blocks of a novel, but they don't always unfold the way we want them to. In this workshop, you'll learn the mechanics of scene and its troublesome partner, the sequel, and how to use this pairing to drive your story. You'll also learn how to develop scenes and weave them together to build strong and focused plots, as well as what to do when you story grinds to a halt and you don't know why.
