SUMMARY:SCARS: HANDS-ON WRITING WORKSHOP with Marc Harshman
DESCRIPTION:SCARS: HANDS-ON WRITING WORKSHOP (for poets\, fiction\, and non-fiction authors\, amateurs or beyond)\nWest Virginia Poet Laureate Marc Harshman helps writers make use of detail\, memory\, and senses in this workshop for writers of all experience levels and genres. \nThe workshop begins with a discussion that addresses the practical need for detail in the creation of convincing writing. In this activity\, Harshman uses personal examples\, diagrams\, and participant responses to illustrate the movement from generality to detail. \nThe poet will then introduce participants to free-writing\, examining its background and history\, before beginning a written exploration of scars that will allow participants to both draw on what they’ve learned so far\, as well as their own memories and senses in the creation of a short story or reminiscence. \nHarshman will then wrap up with a discussion about the most important part of the writing process — revision. \nLocation: Taylor Books\, 226 Capitol St. \nAges: 16+ \nFee: $10 \nRegistration and tickets coming soon \nThe FestivALL Workshop series is presented by Ramsey EyeCare.
