There’s still room in my creative writing class at Northwest Florida State College that begins today at 1 p.m. We will be covering the different elements that combine to make a good story. Information on all my classes can be found by clicking my Class & Workshop page.
In this class we will be taking one story and breaking it down to its separate elements. We will explore each element along with different methods of presentation. Some of the topics of discussion will include:
- Finding inspiration
- Blending archetypes
- Word choice to convey mood
- Using allegory
- Mining reality
- Writing as therapy
- Author as brand
- Publishing mechanics
