Writing What You Know: the Facts of Your Life as the Inspiration for Your Fiction
In this workshop we'll examine the works of a number of authors to see where they used aspects of their lives and experiences to create dynamic and compelling stories. We'll discover what it takes to transform personal events into universal stories with a well-constructed plot, emotionally alive characters, and high stakes. Along the way, we'll discuss why the specific facts of an individual's life provide material that is rich with potential drama...or comedy!
A handout will be available and a Q & A will follow.
Suzanne Trauth is the author of the suspense novel The First to Die, the Dodie O’Dell mystery series—Show Time, Time Out, Running out of Time, Just in Time, No More Time, and Killing Time—and What Remains of Love, an historical romance (Firebird, American Book Fest, Chanticleer book awards), as well as plays and non-fiction books. In her previous career, she spent many years as a university professor of theatre. When she is not writing, she coaches actors. She lives in Woodland Park, New Jersey.
