The Bransforumsfest Writing Workshop Brainstorm
Posted: August 18th, 2011, 8:55 pm
Hello, ladies and gentlemen!
Some of you may be aware of it, but over in the Procrastination forums, a group of us decided, in a bout of collective excitement and awesomeness, to organise a real-life Bransforums Meet 'n Greet. The goal is to have fun, finally see each other for real, and exchange writing tips and critiques. Did I say have fun? Yep. A few super-important details have been hammered out so far.
When? From Saturday March 3rd to Thursday March 8th, 2012. For the all-number folks, that's 3/3-8/3/2012.
Where? Las Vegas, baby. If you're asking why, the short answer is "cheaper and central to a lot of the forumites". We estimate cost for hotel for a week at 345$ (that's how it was when we checked).
What? Meeting each other! Writing Workshops/Talks! Vegas Sightseeing! Fun, fun, fun.
So that was the All Important Information. We're working hard to organise the Bransforumsfest. And you can help!
See, among the "what are we going to do?", we are trying to schedule and organise several writing workshops. And you, awesome people, can help us. By answering questions!
1. Do you want to come to the Bransforumsfest? Yes, no, maybe and "I'll do everything I can" are all good answers here.
2. Do you want to lead a writing workshop?
3. Even if you said no to the above, do you have writing workshop ideas? Subjects we could discuss?
4. Of the topics/exercises mentionned above, and if you come to the Bransforumsfest, do any sound particularly awesome to you?
And before you all jump on your keyboards and excitedly list all the badass writing exercises you know, here's some topics we came up with!
Topics
Story
Dialogue
Prose/Description
Revisions/Editing
Social Networking
Writer Tools and Technology
