For instance, one of the workshops was all about emotion--and not only the characters' emotions--the emotion of the scene you're trying to set. Through proper word choice, your scene can reflect anger or happiness or bitterness or comfort. I found it fascinating. I strive to write the best stories possible. If I can make you laugh out loud or get misty-eyed or envision a scene like I see it, then I think I've done my job as a writer so....I'll continue to take workshops whenever offered. The more I can learn, the better off I'll be. <br /><br />MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966473242925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-43005560257049874272012-05-16T21:41:20.941-04:002012-05-16T21:41:20.941-04:00Other than mixing with all the fabulous authors(!)...Other than mixing with all the fabulous authors(!), what what was your main intent for the workshops?Dawn Kundahttp://www.dawnkunda.comnoreply@blogger.com
