Finish That Draft

  • This course is designed for writers of all genres who are great at starting projects and…less great at finishing them. By working with a combination of prompts and writing activities, we’ll explore different avenues of getting a piece to completion. Attendees are invited to bring a work-in-progress and will leave with a clear writing plan to finish that draft.

    • What counts as a first draft.

    • The idea of writing versus editing.

    • How to edit from a first to a second draft.

    • How to know when a draft is done.

    • Writing prompts or generative ideas for stories.

    • Proofreading or getting a final draft ready for submission.
