Why this workshop matters
Having an outline doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to write.
Before starting a draft, writers still need to make a number of creative decisions: Who is telling the story? What perspective should they use? How should the world work? What should the dialogue sound like? And which decisions can safely be left for later?
This workshop is designed to help writers make the choices that will give their draft consistency and direction, without falling into the trap of planning every detail before they begin.
