5. Writer's Forum. "Write What You Know." September 21st, 2006. 7-9 pm.
I'm teaching a class on how to turn the raw material of real life into the stuff of fiction in Petaluma.

That's 7-9 pm at the Petaluma Community Center, 320 No. McDowell Blvd. $10/class. Drop-ins okay.

Class description: "Eager to pull from the rich material of real life, writers often tell their stories just like they happened, with no dramatic structure. In order to transform fact into fiction, writers must be willing to leave behind the truth and leap into the imagination. This requires a little careful manipulation and a lot of craft. We will walk through easy steps to achieve this end."

More soon.
