HI STORYTELLERS!!

​

This week, we talk about the MIDDLE of your stories. We also go into clichés, importance of details, and the poetry of your writing.

​

In advance, you'll want to read two stories from your reading packet: The Flower by Alice Walker; and Baked Alaska by Christopher Solomon. I bring in some of the other stories as examples, but those are the two most important ones.

​

I've attached here a handout that talks about scenes as building blocks, which might fill in some details on scene creation, for those who need a little more guidance in that realm. And again, scenes are found in books, of course, but also in magazine features, travel stories, personal essays, etc. This could be a class in itself!

​

Please let me know if you have any questions.

​

Happy Writing!
