Once you’ve started your novel, how do you keep going? How do you deal with the challenges that arise as you write? How do you stay motivated? This workshop will explore these questions and provide a supportive environment for writers who have begun their project and want to keep making progress. We will use some class time to talk specifics of our novels as well as discuss general novel writing.
