Saturday, May 31, 1 - 6 p.m. in Sebastopol It's you, the blank page . . . and a mentor to guide you using concrete, inspiring exercises in a supportive group setting through the step-by-step writing of an entire draft of a short story (or complete chapter) in one fun-filled writing afternoon. Leave with a powerfully written, well-structured story peopled with unforgettable characters. You'll also get feedback about revising it for publication. Elizabeth Stark Powers is a REACH parent and the author of a novel, Shy Girl, and two distributed films. She blogs at BookWritingWorld.com. "Having to write to so many interesting prompts, with examples for inspiration, has been tremendous. That has really helped me break out of my writing style ruts." Deborah Davis
