- Learn how to harness shame to add depth and drama to your characters' motivations.
- Understand how your own shame triggers may be holding you back as a writer.
- Experience first-hand how it’s possible to transform shame into resilience and resolve.
Drawing on cultural examples of weaponized shame, including the presenter’s own experience surviving global tabloid media humiliation, our time together will focus on reclaiming our power to write bolder, wiser, more authentic stories. Expect relevant literary examples, personal storytelling, safe sharing of a tiny slice of your personal experience, plus cathartic scribbling, cutting and pasting. Vibe: Brené Brown, Monica Lewinsky and Jon Ronson get together to share secrets, strategies and stationery supplies. Let's do this.
Open to writers at all levels.
Please bring your most open-hearted self. Everything else will be provided.
