The hardest part of writing a novel is finishing it. Fortunately, thanks to the Indiana Humanities' writing workshop grants, we're bringing in Indiana author Larry Sweazy to help us out.
Here's the big secret about writing novels: the hardest part of writing a novel is finishing it. The day-by-day grind it takes to write a novel can be overwhelming. Great ideas tire out. Real life gets in the way. Doubt overtakes the dream. In this interactive workshop, Larry D. Sweazy will share proven tips and help beginning and seasoned writers alike, to build the skills that they need to finish that special novel. Topics discussed will be time management, building a toolbox, finding support, writing tips, and most importantly living life as a writer, even if they're not published. Students should come prepared to write in class. Exercises include determining how many words can be written in a sitting, character creation, designing titles, writing query letters, and submission techniques. This workshop is designed to jumpstart a writer's dream and turn it into a happy reality.
This workshop is made possible by a grant through Indiana Humanities. Larry D. Sweazy will conduct this workshop through Zoom. Patrons can join us at Munster Branch to watch the Zoom presentation or join through Zoom with a computer, laptop, or phone. An email address is required. Programs are subject to change. The library will contact registrants with any changes. If you have any questions, please call 219-836-8450.
