For more details about the additional events and ticketing, visit the <a title="Locus Awards Weekend" href="http://www.locusmag.com/Magazine/2013LocusAwardsAd.html">Locus Awards Weekend</a> site. How-to-write books and workshops frequently present plot as a simple formula to be followed: “Try-Fail,” “Magic W’s,” “The Two-Sentence Premise,” “The Hero’s Journey,” etc. Follow the steps in this formula and, voila! A plot! Nothing could be further from the truth. Good plots are complicated, involved, and very difficult to master. Authors and accomplished plotters Paul Park and Connie Willis will discuss (and provide lots of examples of) advanced plotting techniques, parallel plots, plot combinations and variations, subplots, and how plot interacts with character, setting, and theme to form a unified whole.</form> <p><strong><em>Location and other details will be emailed after registration.

Connie has been awarded eleven Hugo Awards, eleven Locus Awards and six Nebula Awards. Her stories have an epic feel to them and range from laugh out loud funny to deadly serious. Her keen observations illuminate the humor, love, and redemption found in both the comic and the tragic. Celebrated as a humorist with spot-on comic timing, she also uses her fiction to examine larger questions: the nature of God, the persistence of suffering and loss, and the role of love and redemption.<br /> Willis most recently won a Hugo Award for her books <strong>Blackout</strong> and <strong>All Clear</strong> (August 2011). She was inducted to the Science Fiction Museum and Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2009 and received the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award in 2011.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://64.182.17.92/~lsff/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PaulPark0178-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-758" style="border: 3px solid black;" alt="PaulPark0178" src="http://64.182.17.92/~lsff/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PaulPark0178-1-211x300.jpg" width="211" height="300" srcset="https://lsff.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PaulPark0178-1-211x300.jpg 211w, https://lsff.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PaulPark0178-1.jpg 594w" sizes="(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px" /></a><strong>Paul Park</strong> is the author of eleven novels and a collection of short stories. After the publication of his first novel in the 1980s, he swiftly attracted notice as one of the finest authors on the “humanist” wing of American literary speculative fiction. His powerful, densely written narratives of religious and existential crisis on worlds at once exotic and familiar won him comparisons with Gene Wolfe and Brian Aldiss at their best.<br /> A favorite instructor at both the Clarion West Writer’s Workshop and the Creative Writing program he teaches at Williams College in Massachusetts, Paul is known as a perceptive and talented teacher. A critically acclaimed writer, his work has been shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award, the James Tiptree Award, and has been nominated for many others.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div id="colophon"> <span class="generator-link"><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="A Semantic Personal Publishing Platform" rel="generator">Proudly powered by WordPress.</a></span> Theme: Coraline by <a href="https://wordpress.com/themes/" rel="designer">WordPress.com</a>. </div> </div> </div> <link rel='stylesheet' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-css' href='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/css/ssba.css?ver=1736391095' type='text/css' media='all' /> <style id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-inline-css' type='text/css'> .ssba { } .ssba img { width: 20px !important; padding: 3px; border: 0; box-shadow: none !important; display: inline !important; vertical-align: middle; box-sizing: unset; } .ssba-classic-2 .ssbp-text { display: none!important; } .ssba .fb-save { padding: 3px; line-height: 15px; } .ssba, .ssba a { text-decoration:none; background: none; font-family: Indie Flower; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list { max-width: 48px !important;; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a {height: 48px !important; width: 48px !important; } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover { } #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a svg, #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a svg path, .ssbp-bar-list li a.ssbp-surfingbird span:not(.color-icon) svg polygon {line-height: 48px !important;; font-size: 18px;} #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover svg, #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li a:hover svg path, .ssbp-bar-list li a.ssbp-surfingbird span:not(.color-icon) svg polygon {} #ssba-bar-2 .ssbp-bar-list li { margin: 0px 0!important; }@media only screen and ( max-width: 750px ) { #ssba-bar-2 { display: block; } } </style> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/js/ssba.js?ver=1736391095' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' id='simple-share-buttons-adder-ssba-js-after'> Main.boot( [] ); </script> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://lsff.net/wp-content/plugins/easy-twitter-feed-widget/js/twitter-widgets.js?ver=1.0' id='do-etfw-twitter-widgets-js'></script> </body> </html>
