THIS SATURDAY MAY 19th: Regina McBride returns for Inner Lives Developing Characters, a full-day intensive writing workshop. She was here in April and may make this a monthly event. Take it from me: This is a GREAT WRITING WORKSHOP (very gentle, very creative, very much about generating work).

INNER LIVES, DEVELOPING CHARACTERS: A one-day writing workshop with
novelist Regina McBride, author of "The Nature of Water and Air," "The Land of Women," and "The Marriage Bed."

10:00
– 5 pm in Park Slope.  Fee: $125. Fabulous  jump start for writer of all
levels. REGISTER NOW:  email:
louise_crawford@yahoo.com  or call 718-288-4290.

DESCRIPTION: Using relaxation, sense memory, and emotional memory (Stanislavski
acting techniques transformed for the writer) a variety of exercises
will be offered to enable the student to find a deeper, richer
connection to the character he or she is creating.

Exercises will be followed by writing periods, and opportunities for
people to read and share their work. The atmosphere will be safe, with
the focus on exploration. The class is designed to help the student
break into new territory with the character, and with the story itself.
