Part writing workshop and part the study of craft, in this workshop we will spend our time studying the mechanics of description – setting, place, and objective correlative. Students will study an excerpt from Arundhait Roy’s The God of Small Things<\/em> and discuss how the writer uses descriptions to render her characters real. Students will study tone, imagery, and lyricism in her writing. Afterwards, we will use a guided writing prompt to mimic these literary devices in our own writing.<\/p>\n

What Will Writers Gain From The Toolbox Session?<\/p>\n

1. Participants will learn how to balance literary devices – descriptions, setting, and place in their writing.<\/p>\n

2. Participants will learn how to generate ideas for their creative writing through free writing. <\/p>\n

3. Participants will learn the basics of the first drafting process.<\/p>\n
