“Create, Return, Craft: How to Find Hidden Patterns & Leverage Them in Revision”
In creating our stories, we are often smarter than we know. By grace and feel, we plant seeds. In revision, our challenge is to revisit those seeds and help them grow, while weeding out those that won’t bear fruit. But how is this done—both the creating and the crafting? Join award winning and bestselling author Elana K. Arnold as she explores the connection between the back of the brain and the front of the brain to model how to plant, recognize, and grow your own best stories.
