STORY STALKING—CREATIVE WRITING WITH MOLLY DWYER

Here’s the bit that’s going on out about the workshop that’s scheduled for Portland. Anyone who signs up early, (by August 31st), off the website, gets it for the special price of $50. Just email me and tell me you read it on my blog!! That simple. Honor system operative.

SYNCHRONICITY is meaningful coincidence, an inexplicable paralleling of inner and outer events. Dreams often portend synchronicity and feed it—and there’s usually a pot of gold at the end of the synchronicity rainbow, especially for writers.

Dwyer’s workshop presents techniques for recognizing, encouraging, and responding to dreams and synchronicity in both fiction and nonfiction writing. Using a series of hands-on exercises, Dwyer facilitates writers in the discovery of the ancient art of stalking their story.

“I’m borrowing from many traditions here, but the terminology is from filmmaker, Andrei Tarkowsky,” Dwyer explains, “The Stalker is one of his most enigmatic films. The Stalker is a guide who knows the way to the center of the zone where the deepest desires, the true soul desires one has come to pass. No one path works every time. We must learn to listen and respond to subtleties, and as we do, our writing becomes an organic, almost independent force full of surprise and freshness.”
