The Little Things: Exploring Sensory Detail to Bring Writing to Life
Your everyday life is filled with details: everything from the sound of a loved one’s laugh to the logo on a faded band t-shirt. The strategic use of specifics like these are how authors create characters and situations that readers can’t forget. In this prompt-driven generative webinar, we will explore how writing about sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell are key to bringing writing to life. We’ll look at examples from published work and try some of our own. This generative webinar is open to prose and poetry writers of all levels.
John C. Campbell Folk School: Where the Story Begins: Turning Inspiration Into Prose
Do you have an idea for a novel or memoir but aren’t sure how to get started? Turn inspiration into written pages using practical techniques for developing plot, scene, character, and dialogue. We will write together with guided prompts, enjoy read-alouds of our work, and discuss published examples. An overview of the publishing landscape and tips to keep you writing will close out our time together. Join me and Mickey Dubrow for a weekend of writing inspiration!
