Teen writers! Join me at the Shrewsbury Public Library from 10:00 - 12:00 on Saturday October 3!
"Make a Scene" Writing Workshop Description:
Whether you're writing flash fiction in which an entire story unfolds over just a page or two or you're writing a novel, the building blocks of all stories are scenes. In this workshop, we will identify the essential elements of scenes and what makes some scenes stronger than others. Then we will use a backwards planning strategy to write scenes of our own.
This workshop is a great warm up for students interested in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) Young Writers Program, which challenges teens to write a 30,000-word novella over 30 days in the month of November. To officially participate in NaNoWriMo, you aren't allowed to start writing your novella until November 1, but you are allowed to use the month of October to outline and brainstorm, and this workshop will definitely help you start to generate ideas!
The Shrewsbury Public Library will be hosting write-ins for adults and teens every Saturday throughout November.
