A Wrinkle in Time: How to Manage Chronology
$95
One of the central struggles in storytelling is that human beings are, in essence, time travelers. We live in the past of our memories and the future of our hopes. Thus, when we tell stories, we often shuttle around in time. This can be exciting, but more often it winds up confusing the reader, and (in my case) the writer. In this seminar, we’ll look at the work of masters such as Natasha Tretheway, Cheryl Strayed, and Meg Wolitzer to help unravel the mysteries of chronology and help writers figure out how to tell their story in a way that thrills their readers.
