THE WRITER'S 12-STEP PROGRAM: WRITE YOUR NOVEL IN A YEAR--Instructor: Katrina
Kittle In 2017 Word's Worth launched its inaugural Writer's
12-Step Program: Write Your Novel Draft in a Year, and our fifth offering begins in September 2021. In this class a community
of writers all endeavor to complete the first draft of a novel in one year's time. If you've ever tried National Novel Writing
Month, this is the same idea, but this plan is a little more sustainable and doable with the rest of your life's obligations. This community meets together virtually on the second Tuesday of each month from September 2021 to
August 2022. In between sessions you'll generate new work, meet with break out "writing groups (virtually or in person),"
and be connected to a private internet group where you'll receive a weekly "check-in" with instructor Katrina Kittle
as well as receive motivational and accountability posts along the way. Instead of simply saying, "By this time next
year I'll have my book done," this program will give you a game plan, frequent deadlines, check points, craft lessons,
and the collective creative energy of other kindred spirits attempting the same goal. This program is for any FICTION writer
ready to truly commit to their work. Any genre of fiction is welcome. Memoir writers
seeking this kind of community and accountability are welcome, but please understand that the instructional focus will be
on the craft of fiction (but creative nonfiction writers use these same techniques) Each month will have a focus (although
material will change based on the individual needs of group members). (Suggested ages 18 and up) First Trimester September: Developing Your Plan October: Character Building: Motivation as your GPS November:
