September 25
UC Davis Extension, Fiction Workshop
Tools of the Writer’s Craft
When writers move past the initial inspiration the act and the art of writing gives them, they often find themselves developing an interest in craft, and craft is the emphasis of this workshop. How do we develop character and reveal plot without resorting to dull exposition? Render autobiographical incidents into useful fictional material? Reveal character motivation while maintaining plot momentum? Subtly but effectively sound thematic concerns? With the help of published examples and a discussion of how these writers are effective, weekly assignments give you opportunities to put theory into practice. These assignments are discussed in a workshop forum, which further enhances your ability to discern what goes into a piece of effective writing.
When: Sept. 25-Nov. 13: Thurs, 6-9pm.
Where: Sutter Square Galleria, 2901 K St, Sacramento, CA
