Simple Secrets Revealed at Last!!! Writer/Cartoonist TELLS ALL in
ACTION-PACKED Workshop!!! Write STORIES as NATURALLY as You Dream
Them!!! Use: Memory!!! Pictures!!! Ordinary Words!!! Laughing!!! My
Philosophy:  NO IDEA IS TOO SMALL!!!!

You know that place in your mind where a song can get caught and you can't
make it stop even though it's driving you crazy? That's the place this
workshop is about:  building bridges so that the 10,000 unthought things can
cross over into surprised realization and stories which come to us whole.

"When people try to write stories they tend to drag the stories behind
them," Lynda Barry says. "They think the story and question it and try to
arrange it into something understandable, which is no fun at all! It makes a
person feel exhausted and cranky.

The best way to write is to let the image pull you. You should be
water-skiing behind it, not dragging it like a barge. Writing should take
you for a ride."

Focusing first on memory, we embark on a journey into the unexpected.
Memories come as uncontrollable as dreams you may end up remembering things
you haven't thought of since you were a kid. Then we move into fiction.
"It's a way of writing that's freaky, vivid, and a lot of fun," she says.
