I'm doing a rare in-person writing workshop for adults and teens--and it's FREE!
Hi friends,
I've been a bit "hermitty" this past little while, working on my book and grinning at my new granddaughter. But I have decided to venture out into the wilds of my local library (Evergreen in Everett) and offer a free workshop. This is in honor of National Novel Writing Month, but you are welcome whether or not you are participating in that madness. I scheduled it for after school so teen writers can come, so bring them along, and call up all your homeschooling friends, as well!
Here's the scoop:
“Spike Your Word Count: Six Things Every Scene Needs”
Evergreen Branch Library Meeting Room 9512 Evergreen Way, Everett
Friday, November 17, 3:00-5:30 (Includes Write-In Time)
You’re racing for your 50k, when you hit a scene that will not let you in. What’s the fastest way to blast through the barriers to a vibrant story world? In this workshop, you’ll discover the six ingredients that give readers that “inside the book” feeling—and will give you the surge you need to keep on writing.
Even if you're not racing for 50k, we're going to try a thing that gives you a new way into a scene and includes some teaching many of my students have called "breakthrough" for their writing.
We'll do the class part for an hour or 90 minutes-ish, and then go to some quiet group writing time.
Please REGISTER HERE.
Hope to see you there!
Love,
Katherine
PS You are also welcome at my Thursday Write-In, happening in Everett at Village by the Lake (for November only), and also on Zoom.

Storytelling is born in the body. Our ancestors knew this when they donned costumes and danced around the fire. Actors know it. And writers? We know it the first time our characters move us: whether to tears, to rage, or to laughing out loud. We experience it in our body. At Epicwrite, writers explore the mind-body connection through movement, mindfulness, ritual, and the actor’s art. And we study the alchemy of wordcraft—those elements of plotting, characterization, description, and scene...
This Saturday, February 10 is my birthday and we're celebrating with hearts! We'll make some valentines with special, historic paper, and we'll read The Legend of the Valentine. We'll also use sales of the book to raise funds for Hand in Hand Kids, an Everett organization helping to provide a softer landing for foster children. All this takes place from 1:00-3:00 PM at Artisans Books & Coffee, a fabulous local shop I just discovered that supports artists and authors. The Legend of the...
Dear Friends, Are you writing a book? Is the process a bit like sliding down a hill shouting "Whee!" while leaves fly out behind you? Are the puzzle pieces coming together perfectly? Have you got thirty possible agents picked out, along with customized query letters you know will knock their socks off? Or is that only true on some days? On other days, you fight an unwieldy monster and wonder why you started this process in the first place. Or you just "don't have time" for your book any more...
