Here’s your chance to get started with the guidance of a veteran writer and affirmative editor, Alicia Rasley. We’ll start with your idea, and build out from there—explore the characters, organize the plot, outline dramatic events.

Do you have a story in you? Is there an idea or character you want to explore? Here’s your chance to get started with the guidance of a veteran writer and affirmative editor, Alicia Rasley. We’ll start with your idea, and build out from there—explore the characters, organize the plot, outline dramatic events. Here’s what we’ll be doing in this fun and practical workshop:

  1. Developing your story through the Three Plotlines (External, Internal, Interactional)
  2. Channeling your characters and discovering their journey, goal, and strengths/weaknesses
  3. Changing the characters through events of the plot
  4. Intensifying the conflict and character change
  5. Ending the story with drama and resolution

It sounds like a lot, but we can do it all in one workshop! By the time we’re done, you’ll have an outline of the three acts of the story plot, AND a summary of the character’s internal journey. You’ll be excited and ready to get started writing or revising your story! There’s a bigger market for stories than ever before, so here’s your chance to plunge right into that story you’ve wanted to write.

About the branch

In 1960, after residents petitioned for a permanent library, a storefront branch opened at 30th Street and Lafayette Road, the first branch in the system to be located in a shopping center. A stand-alone facility at 3325 Lowry Road opened in 1970 with 12,000 square feet. On June 1, 2019 the Lowry Road facility was replaced by a new 20,000-square-foot building at 3905 Moller Road.
