Two Advanced Craft Classes…
Both Starting May 12th… We have an entire series of advanced craft classes that are nine weeks long with eight assignments. They are advanced to help you move your storytelling skills forward. In May, the two advanced craft classes we are offering are… ADVANCED CLIFFHANGERS… FLOATING VIEWPOINTS… You may think cliffhangers only have one job, but honestly they are the glue that holds a book together in a dozen different ways. This class always surprises people. And if you think that “head-hopping” as beginning writers call it is bad, you clearly are only reading beginning writers. All stage four writers move viewpoints at will and as a story demands and…

It would be logical to do two mystery classes in the Candid Shots Mystery Stories of Kristine Kathryn Rusch. But we have done a lot of mystery classes of different types. And then in the Wednesday webinar for the seminar, somewhere in the conversation the idea of doing an advanced…
