Writing from Scratch: A Creative Writing Workshop - December 5, 2009

Writing from Scratch: A Creative Writing Workshop -

Empower Your Self! Enrich your Life!

In this three-hour, hands-on workshop, we will concentrate on learning poetic techniques concentrating on the English sonnet and its iambic pentameter rhythm . We will then use what we've learned about poetry and apply it to writing prose fiction. In the prose section we will learn how to outline your characters focusing on the early stages of character development. This is one of two workshops Eileen is offering. If you are beyond character development and want to take a step further, Eileen is offering a second workshop prior to this one on November 21st that will concentrate on the fundamentals of the short poetic forms of haiku, senryu, and tanka in the first half, and in the prose segment we will concentrate on drafting an ending to your novel and blocking out your chapters before you even begin writing your story!

Contact Eileen if you are interested in attending one or both of these workshops at [email protected], or visit her website at www.EileenAlbrizio.com for further details.

Light refreshments are available.
