About the class: What does it mean to “write from the heart” in today’s world? By examining personal definitions of this phrase, each writer will learn to deepen characterization, to interweave emotional threads into exhilarating plot lines, and to examine imagery to relay mood. Short exercises, storytelling works by national tellers, and journaling methods expand student’s writing horizons. In-class writings will create drafts ready for fictional scenes, non-fiction articles, poems, or simply personal use.
The instructor for the class is Bobbie Pell. For over 30 years, Bobbie Pell has shared her love of story with audiences of all ages through written works, storytelling performances, and workshops.
