SUMMARY:PREPtober IV: The Pearls and Perils of Dialogue\, Setting\, and Action
DESCRIPTION:Every good story balances speech — both internal and external — against action\, within a defined place-and-time that\, in itself\, functions as a character. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Jason will lead a half-hour reflection about what works and what doesn’t: why some speech sings while other speech sounds cliched; what editors assess regarding the voice of inner dialogue; why the rule for descriptions is “just enough but not too much;” how to narrate complex action; and why you should let your readers tend to their own Story-Gardens. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAfter the reflection\, attendees will workshop solutions to each other’s questions or challenges fine-tuning speech\, setting\, and description. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis session is in-person. Light snacks will be provided.
