Once the story is written, they will draw the characters or use cut-outs to fill in a pre-prepared book to take home. 1pm – 3pm: ADULT WORKSHOP – TURNING YOUR IDEA INTO A STORY (Cost $45) Exploring the building blocks that make a compelling story that no one can put down. The course includes, establishing the best point of view for your story, the importance of setting, creating memorable characters, and much more. These building blocks are vital no matter what you are writing: short stories, novels, novellas, poems, children’s fiction or non-fiction, memoir, contemporary fiction, history, romance, fantasy, humour, thriller, crime, etc. SUNDAY JUNE 25TH: 10am – 12 noon: ADULT WORKSHOP – WRITING YOUR MEMOIR (Cost $45) We all have a wealth of stories to tell and one of the great joys is to be able to write those stories for others. The challenge is to express those stories with excitement and panache so that our readers can’t put the story down. We also need to know how to research the period to get the facts right. The course includes, establishing the best point of view for your story, the importance of emotion, setting description, and character portrayal, and much more. |
