Workshop Details: 

It’s a story as old as writing itself: your manuscript’s beginning is
captivating, original and polished, and the end is full of action, growth, and emotional
satisfaction. But the middle…? Oh, the middle. You sigh and start to wonder if anyone will even notice if it sags. Like middle children, story middles are often overlooked, but in this workshop we’ll give middles their sparkly moment in the spotlight. We’ll talk about midpoints, subplots (since the middle is their natural habitat!), conflict that runs out of steam, plot twists, scattering breadcrumbs and smuggling in your catnip.

*This is the same workshop that was standing room only in Hobart, but now includes content that was left on the cutting room floor to fit session length PLUS brand new problem areas to troubleshoot (which also means more smug cats, obviously). For Writer Wonderland attendees who are coming to the Extended Edition: if you walked away with any questions, shoot them over to Rachel (rachel@rachelbailey.com) and she'll do her best to address them during this session.
