Designs for our time: We’ll do a few readings from our chapters for this reading period, a time for open Q&A about the book or writing personal narrative, and we’ll talk about endings—

  • How do you decide where to end your book? Especially when it’s an ongoing story?

  • What do you do when life happens and the story you’re writing about shifts?

  • How can we resist tying everything up in a neat bow as writers, while seeking to offer some kind of honest resolution for our readers?

Here are the chapters we’re focusing on for our last session, if you’d like to brush up:

Chapter 9 Going Gently into the New Epiphany, Again

Chapter 10 Tessering Well, Easter, Again

An Honest Epilogue

Can’t wait! See you tonight live on Zoom—link below.
