About the Offering
This workshop focuses on possibilities within a work of fiction—what are the possibilities and limitations found in choices of narrative point of view, syntax, time, memory, story structure, sentences, omission, openings, closure, objects, dialogue, and a narrative’s leaps and speed. How do we clear away obvious ways of sounding on the page in order to uncover necessary voices? What are our essential and necessary stories? How do we witness and render the physical world on the page? This is a generative workshop. Students should be ready to write all week and come away with new drafts and beginnings.
LIVE TIME: 12pm-2pm EST.
Materials Needed
No specific materials needed for this offering.
