Writing The Things You Think You Cannot Say

The inaugural Understory Writers Conference was held last month in Park City, Utah under the sparkling leadership of Annie Tucker. I presented four workshops, including The Book Architecture Method, Meditation for Writers, Editing and Self-Editing…and honestly would like to do it again next week.

But the best one—either because it is the newest, or because it is the topic I am so engaged with right now because of my own book, or because it was the juiciest/most revelatory—was: Writing the Things You Think You Cannot Say. (Which could have been called Dealing With Unspeakable Material In Your Memoir and The People Who Don’t Want You To Speak It.)

After the conference, a number of attendees reached out to express their chagrin they had missed that particular session. And so we are going to put it on again, live on Zoom, on October 14th at 10am Pacific.

In this 60 minute session, we will cover:

  • The gory, vengeful first draft
  • A process to determine what you need as opposed to being guided solely by righteous indignation
  • Libel
  • People you still want to have Thanksgiving with
  • Karma

You know if you need to be there. The cost is free. Email me here so we can make sure you get all the details.
