Refresh yourself and your novel
Getting started is one thing, keeping going is another. The story that seemed to write itself suddenly stalls halfway through the telling. How do you redraft and rewrite? Increase and vary pace? Tighten the prose and the plot? Sometimes it's not the work, but you that needs to be inspired and refreshed. This course will explore how to revisit and develop work in progress.
