PRESENTATIONS
SHOW AND TELL
This 45-55 minute presentation for adults explores the mysterious and nebulous SDT—Show, Don’t Tell. In the process, writers learn the why, when, and where to show or tell, and how to do it effectively. Rich in sensory detail and geared to challenge and inspire, this session includes interactive writing exercises, giving attendees immediate opportunity to apply what they’ve learned.
SPICE UP YOUR WRITING: The Fine, Fun Art of Simile and Metaphor.
In the potato soup of life, there’s just got to be a speck of pepper here and there. Anything to give it a little bit of color, right? Enter simile and metaphor. This 45-55 minute presentation explores the why, where, when, and how of this powerful and effective aspect of writing. Time permitting, attendees will have the opportunity to create their own similes and metaphors.
WHAT IS PLOT AND WHAT IS NOT
We all know we need a plot in order to have a story, but sometimes that plot can be a bit elusive. This 45-55 minute workshop sheds light on what is plot, what is not, and how to find, define, and deepen this essential element. Attendees will have a chance to apply the points through interactive writing exercises that illustrate how to formulate, isolate, and strengthen plot. |
