Before You Begin the Novel: An Exploration of Character and Story
Facing the blank page can be an intimidating experience. What is the universal theme you’re trying to communicate? What does the protagonist really want? In this workshop, you create a personalized “encyclopedia” of material to use as a reference when writing the novel. Through individualized exercises tailored to each writer in the room, you explore the protagonist’s history, fears, and desires, as well as his or her relationship to the antagonist. You identify the larger theme that draws you to this particular story, a basic outline of the beginning, middle, and end, and the emotional arc of the protagonist. By the end of the workshop, you have in your arsenal many important elements to get you started so that the blank page remains blank no more. This course is open to writers of all levels who are eager to begin writing their novel.

Writing with a Full Palette of Color: A Writing Workshop
The stories within us come in a wide range of colors, from the bright hues of pure joy to the darker tones of despair and loneliness. It often takes a combination of emotional colors to show the depth and complexity of a scene: the fear of falling in love; the gifts that stem from loss; the embracing of uncertainty. In this workshop, you dip into your own palette of truth, allowing your writing to crackle with vibrancy. Each session consists of two components: fun yet challenging in-class “quick writes,” and take-home exercises that are individually chosen for each writer, to be shared aloud in the group. In-class exercises focus on the colors of the outer world, including activating the senses and noticing details. Take take-home exercises weave dark and light shades into a scene, and cover topics across the emotional color spectrum from childhood wounds that have not healed to the joy of knowing true compassion. This workshop is designed for writers of every level, including those new to the craft who want to enhance their writing through vivid and dynamic detail.

REVOLUTIONARY STEM CELL LIFT™ CORRECTS DEFECTS WITHOUT CUTTING, STITCHES OR SCARS

(Beverly Hills, CA)- Marla Maples’ mom and former model, Ann Maples, was the victim of a plastic surgery horror story. Hoping to restore her youthful looks, twelve years ago she had a facelift, but the surgery left huge, unsightly indentations on her cheekbones and a large depression on her neck. “I can’t believe how awful I looked,” says Ann. “I never expected to look worse after plastic surgery! I was horrified.” Adds daughter Marla Maples, “My mother was not only physically, but psychologically scarred. She wouldn’t go out of the house and would not even consider going under the knife again to repair the damage.”

Enter cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Nathan Newman, who, with his revolutionary Stem Cell Lift, a knife-free, scar-free technique, which utilizes the patient’s own stem cell-enriched fat, was able to undo the damage on her face and neck and rejuvenate her appearance.

“After seeing the defects resulting from Ann’s prior plastic surgery,” says Dr. Newman, “I was confident The Stem Cell Lift™ would repair the indentations as well as add volume to the depleted, sunken areas of her face, which would restore Ann’s youthful appearance.”

The Stem Cell Lift™ uses the power of stem cells found in the body’s own fat to rejuvenate and regenerate tissue, restore volume and improve skin texture. The procedure is quick and painless: No cutting, no stitches and no scars. After performing a mini liposuction, Dr. Newman separated Ann’s stem cells from her fat and concentrated the activated stem cells. Using specially designed blunt instruments, Dr. Newman broke up the scar tissue under Ann’s skin and then artistically sculpted micro-injections of supercharged, stem cell enriched fat to repair the damage to her face and neck, as well as adding volume to her cheek bones. “My mom and I were amazed how young and beautiful she looked immediately after the Stem Cell Lift,” says Marla.

What distinguishes Dr. Newman’s Stem Cell Lift™ from any other method is his innovative process, which significantly increases the number of super-charged stem cells to provide extra volume and more natural-looking results. Dr. Newman says, “The Stem Cell Lift™ procedure allows me to significantly increase the ratio of the stem cells to the fat that is injected, resulting in an extra potent mixture.”

The Stem Cell Lift™ is fast and safe, compared to traditional plastic surgery, where unsightly scars, nerve damage and risks of general anesthesia are possible. The Stem Cell Lift™ eliminates such risks by using local anesthesia and no cutting. Patients often return to normal activities almost immediately afterwards. Side effects such as bruising and swelling are usually minimal, but can vary from person to person. “Because the patient is both donor and recipient, there is no rejection of the cells and no allergic reaction,” adds Dr. Newman.

The Stem Cell Lift™ is a fraction of the cost of traditional cosmetic surgery. Dr. Newman explains, “The entire face including the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, jaw line, laugh lines, lips, jowls, and chin can be done all at the same time with the Stem Cell Lift.™ Each area would otherwise involve a separate, more risky surgery, each costing thousands of dollars.” The results of the Stem Cell Lift™ usually last just as long as traditional plastic surgery face lifts.
