February 1 AND February 4: The Original Idea—The Core of Writing and Selling Your Book and Conflict-The Fuel of Your Story with Bob Mayer

Blurb: Can you say what your book is about in 25 words of less? This is essential to both writing a tight book and then selling it. We'll discuss ways to find and state your original idea so that you stay on course while writing the book and with which you can excite those you tell it to when trying to sell it. After the formal presentation, participants will get the opportunity to present their idea down and have it discussed.

We'll find out what you really meant to write and the level of interest it generates. All will profit, not just the person whose idea is discussed, as this workshop will show you how to focus your creative energies.

Conflict drives your story. Not only must conflict escalate throughout the entire novel, every single scene must have conflict in it. The Conflict Box is an effective technique for focusing your story on the protagonist, antagonist, their goals and finding out if you have the necessary conflict lock.

This is a two-day workshop.

Bio: NY Times bestselling author Bob Mayer has 40 books published. He has over three million books in print and is in demand as a Team-building, Life-change, and Leadership speaker and consultant for his Who Dares Wins: The Green Beret Way concept which he translates into Warrior Writer: a holistic program teaching writers how to be authors.
