Hooray! You’ve crossed the proverbial finish line of your creative project. But the end, of course, is just the beginning. In this lively 2 hour session, we will share various approaches to the revision process. How do we dig deeper into our intentions? How do we discover those intentions if they are not readily apparent in the first place? And how do we best excavate the story we want to tell? What warrants expansion? What belongs on the cutting room floor? What if I need another point of view? Why do I feel like the house of cards if falling? Recognizing that everyone has their own style and their own way in, we will honor our individual sensibilities, as we engage both our intuition and bullshit meter in the spirit of “seeing again.” Bring all your questions for candid discussion.
