Writing Vivid Scenes Even When Your Memory Is Spotty

ONDEMAND WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

Vivid scenes are an essential part of any writer's toolkit—but what if you don't remember enough about the story you're trying to tell to write with the kind of specificity and detail readers love? This OnDemand webinar will provide techniques to help you remember more, as well as how to work with what you've got—from the ethics of using creative license to fill in details, to how to milk a single flash of memory for all it's worth.
