Tiffin Inn Writing Workshop (with Imposter Syndrome & Unlimited Refills)
An author is published regularly. Tim Goodwin and Art Franz are "writers," the people who work and scrape and publish (on occasion) but mostly faceplant, rise, brush off, and repeat. What does it take to learn how to tell good stories? How can I fully realize my characters? How do I gather quality feedback on works in progress? What can I do to punch through writer's block? What must we do to publish work in today's media landscape? No, really. We're asking. But we are also answering! Join Tim Goodwin (professional photographer, Equity actor, improv master, stage manager, and published short story writer) and Arthur Franz IV (board game designer, Learning & Development Manager, Master of Fine Arts, & published short story writer from a loooong time ago) in the corner booth as they bare their souls for your amusement! Real talk from smart, down-to-earth people about how to create quality work. Learn from our mistakes. Get inspired. But most importantly, write.
