To get even more out of these types of events, media arts instructor Dan Watanabe recommends that attendees challenge themselves and sign up for the workshops that are outside of their wheelhouse or area of interest. For example, if you write science fiction, sit in on a workshop about memoir. Watanabe says it&#39;s amazing what you can learn about story structure, writing techniques, story ideas, and more. You&#39;ll also be surprised by the similarities in genres that you thought were vastly different from one another. By opening your mind to new things, you might also expand your creativity, voice, and craft.<br /><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-86/TheBenefitofAttendingWritingWorkshopsOutsideYourComfortZone.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../TheBenefitofAttendingWritingWorkshopsOutsideYourComfortZone.mp4</a></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/workshops/7938/the-benefit-of-attending-writing-workshops-outside-your-comfort-zone/revision/1Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:17:50 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:0c573c56-968b-40e1-9c1f-5c33d7b6177fDan Watanabehttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/workshops/7938/the-benefit-of-attending-writing-workshops-outside-your-comfort-zone#commentsRevision 1 posted to Workshops by Dan Watanabe on 10/2/2020 6:17:50 PM<br /> <p>When writers challenge themselves it can lead to new insights and learning, as media arts instructor Dan Watanabe explains.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div>
