Detailed Depth Workshop - August 19th

 

As Walt Disney said, “There is no magic in magic, it’s all in the details.”

Intentional details add depth to our stories. A few choice details can bring a scene to vivid life. A detailed description help your characters leap off the page into your reader’s imagination.

It’s also the little details that add magic to our stories. (That Disney bloke was onto something…)

But—what details could you include in your stories and narratives? Which ones might matter most?

Join me as we write together and create toward more delightfully detailed stories!

This workshop is great for anyone who:

  • Likes to write a lot—or a little!

  • Wants to try out a single writing workshop (it’s a quick 1.5 hours)

  • Looks forward to writing within a small group (there will never be more than 8 writers in the workshop)

You can expect to leave the workshop with:

  • Actionable strategies for writing detail-driven narratives

  • At least a few paragraphs of new writing

  • Prompts to inspire your writing practice when you return home

  • A feeling of creative curiosity and possibility ✨

Where we’ll write:

This workshop will be at Greenglade Community Recreation Centre in Room 1. (2151 Lannon Way, Sidney, BC)

Your workshop leader:

  • Hi, I’m Monika!

  • My short synopsis: I’m a freelance author of 50+ books for schools, and I firmly believe everyone is a writer. I also have a sky-high love for freshly-popped popcorn.

  • Want to get to know me better? I’ve got a mini bio here.

Want to join this workshop? Please bring with you:

  • A notebook and your favourite pen for writing. Or, if you prefer typing, please bring a digital device (eg. tablet, laptop).

  • Your enthusiasm and creativity!
