I’ll be teaching a class on story structure at January’s meeting of the Iron Horse Writers. This local writer’s group is sponsored by North Bend Art & Industry. “Fundamentals of Story Structure” utilizes material from my upcoming novel-writing workbook, Novel Now. I’ll be discussing the scenes that every three-act novel should have, go over the core scene requirements, and discuss the importance of goal, motivation, and conflict.

Local writer Takako Wright says in this article in Living Snoqualmie, “there is a large yet almost hidden number of writers here in the Valley.” I hope that by teaching classes at Iron Horse Writers, I can help bring those writers into the fold, show them what’s possible, and help them achieve their writerly goals. The Iron Horse Writers meets on the third Tuesday of each month, often for free-write, with free classes taught on the first month of each quarter. I’ll be in attendance each month to provide critique and answer questions.
