Reframing story “revision” as a renovation can break down barriers of procrastination, frustration, and fears a story will never become “right.” Story renovation means keeping the structure, or bones, and restoring or reimagining other parts through guided word play. Participants will use story drafts to practice hands-on renovation approaches such as highlighting, cutting and taping, and drawing maps, along with generating new passages. We’ll leave with renovation techniques to keep us motivated and engaged and guidance and models from craft experts.
