Reusing the Imagination with Ito Romo

Gemini Ink 1111 Navarro St, San Antonio, TX, United States

In this class, we will discuss the process of becoming an observant "recorder” in every sense of the word. We will also discuss how to take these “recordings” that now live in our mind, reimagine them, then translate them into our writing so readers are invited to reimagine them too. We will examine how this movement from the real world to our mind to our work then to our reader’s imagination can be done seamlessly, with an emphasis on word choice and syntax. We will also discuss sentence visualization and the role our senses play in creating a written world as believable as our own “real” world.

The Attuned Art of Writing Dialogue with William Jack Sibley

Gemini Ink 1111 Navarro St, San Antonio, TX, United States

Writing believable, memorable, smart dialogue is a frequent hurdle for many writers. Is it "real" – too much, too little, or simply the not quite right words conveying the not quite right essence? Tricky stuff. Take this opportunity to work closely with award-winning author and screenplay pro William Sibley to learn some expert advice on what makes for unique dialogue that "sells" the writing for the reader—whether for a novel, play, film, or TV series.

Film Structure and Fiction: A New Approach to Plotting Narrative 

Gemini Ink 1111 Navarro St, San Antonio, TX, United States

In this generative class, we’ll explore how the structure of films can enhance our fiction, whether novels or short stories. We’ll analyze how to use plot points (“doorways of no return”), midpoints, inciting incidents, and pinches to build solid narratives that bolster our characters and themes. Bring either a project you’ve been struggling with or a new idea whose plot remains a mystery.
