February 27 Dynamic Dialogue with Susan Calder
Dialogue is one of the strongest tools for portraying characters
in fiction and creative non-fiction. When do you use dialogue
in a story? What makes dialogue effective, interesting and full
of tension? How can dialogue move your story forward?
Through writing exercises, discussion and the study of
published works learn how to make your dialogue sparkle.
February 27 Signs Along the Way with Carolyn Pogue
Begin writing your life story from the perspective of spirit.
Through discussion, free-fall writing and other exercises, we
will explore the paths we have walked and the signposts that
have been our guides. We will draw on our own deep wells of
experience and the experiences of others. Participants will
mine hidden memories, sift recollections, explore ideas within
an empathetic group and create an autobiographical map from
which to continue writing
