2015 Willamette Writers Conference

If we write, then by definition we have a "process."  Sometimes we control it, sometimes it controls us.  In either case, it's easy to adopt habits, rituals and belief systems that actually compromise both our creativity and our productivity, in ways that are at once insidious and cloaked beneath the warm embrace of our comfort level. This class does not advocate one process over another, but it will focus on the story targets and criteria that any and all processes ultimately seek to achieve, allowing you to assess your "how" in context to accepted professional benchmarks of your "what" relative to effective storytelling.
