Last Saturday, May 12, 2012, the Calgary chapter of the RWA (CARWA) hosted story consultant Michael Hauge. He presented his day-long workshop on Story Mastery to 66 writers from Calgary and area.

If you ever get a chance to attend a Story Mastery workshop, go! Failing that, buy WRITING SCREENPLAYS THAT SELL. Michael has been helping writers and screenwriters for over 20 years. He teaches with movie examples and good humour, answering questions along the way and always digging deeper for the Story.

If I’d known I could get this much information in one short day, I’d have flown somewhere to hear him speak before now. He will be a Keynote Speaker at the 2012 Emerald City Writers Conference, hosted by the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America on October 26 this year. Find out more here.

I’m still sorting through the photos I took. You’ll be able to find them on the CARWA website in a couple of days. Here are a few for now.
