Sensory Writing Workshop Online with The Carnegie Center
A character comes to life on the page through well-crafted sensory detail. In this two hour prompt-driven workshop, we will explore how writing about sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell add dimension to your fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. This online workshop is open to writers of all levels, in all genres. Participants will learn to explore the exceptional detail in commonplace moments, develop insight into crafting memorable characters and situations, and enrich the crafted world on the page.
Writing Family Stories
Join me for a week at Serenbe's Art Farm to learn techniques for writing about family: developing plot as well as for writing scene, description, and character. Together, we’ll explore innovative ways of bringing family dynamics to life on the page, including research, sensory engagement, and drawing (even if you’re not an artist.) We will read and discuss excerpts from well-known examples of family stories, and maybe share a little bit of our own writing, too.
