Most people make the same New Year’s resolutions over and over again. And, usually, before February even gets here, almost all (if not all) of those resolutions have been broken. There must be a better way!
Let us help you keep those promises to yourself!
1) Lose Weight — While we might not be able to help you lose physical weight (unless you count the sweat from your brow as you concentrate on your writing), we CAN help you cut excess words from your short story or picture book. We can help you tighten your prose and overall edit your work so that it’s slim and trim and attractive. We promise that our classes are always free of calories, carbs, and fat (unless someone brings Christmas cookies).
2) Get in Shape — We can help you flex your writing muscles and tone up your fiction. Perhaps the marathon you want to run is in finishing your novel. We can be your personal trainers in the world of publishing. We’re pretty good at cracking the whip and making you drop and do 10 pages. Homework and in-class exercises will make your body of work muscular and full of energy.
3) Finances — Although we can’t guarantee publication or wealth or fame (no one can do that), we can guarantee that our classes will help you improve your craft. We want the same goal as you: to see your story in print someday. So we’ll encourage you and prod you and motivate you along the road to publication…and perhaps financial gain. And we promise that we’ll try to keep the prices of our classes and conferences as low as possible so that they won’t take a big bite out of your wallet.
4) Write that story that I’ve been meaning to do — You know that story that’s been rattling around in your head for maybe years? Well, let us help you get it down on paper. Once it’s on paper, we can work with it, smoothing out wrinkles, shaping it, feeding it, loving it, getting it into shape. And you never know where that story will lead you! It could multiply and turn into many stories! It could lead you down paths you never dreamed of before! It could free up space in your brain for that commercial jingle that you can’t stop humming! Our classes are full of information, interaction, and lots of fun. We’ll help you do a story transplant, moving it from your head to your computer, and we won’t even use any sharp knives (unless there’s also cake involved — see Resolution #1).
If you’re in the Greenville area, sign up for our classes and join us in our studio. If you’re not close by, you can still join us! Tim has found a way, using dimdim, to have online classes. We’re growing, and we’d love for you to join us. You can email either me at pam.zollman@gmail.com or Tim at tim@timdaviscreations.com if you have any questions.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
