Practicing the Craft: Veterans from The Writers Grotto Help You Make Your Sentences Sizzle
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The Writers Grotto has launched a light-hearted, smart series on the writing craft, called LitStarts. This workshop uses the first four books--Writing Action, Writing Character, Writing Dialogue, and Writing Humor--to deepen your mastery of the writing craft through fun exercises and lively prompts that will change the way you approach the page. The popular writing coach Constance Hale will lead the workshop, joined by essayists and novelists and even a poet from the Writers Grotto, San Francisco's oldest literary community. A copy of one of the books is included in the price of the class.
This session will help you:
Sketch dynamic characters in three words
Write dialogue that sounds natural but sizzles with energy
Build conflict into scenes and stories
Understand varieties of plot and structure
Use tone to put humanity and humor into your sentences
