What if you could relive a single day, changing one small choice each
time? Or split your life into parallel paths—who would you become? In
this workshop, we’ll braid time in two thrilling ways: looping
narratives (like Groundhog Day) and diverging timelines (like Sliding
Doors). Use fiction or your own life as raw material.
Takeaways:
- Craft stories where time bends, resets, or branches—with purpose.
- Mine tiny, pivotal moments for big emotional or speculative payoff.
- Structure nonlinear narratives without losing your reader.
For writers of memoir, sci-fi, and everything in between.
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
