Creating Emotion on the Page: Atmosphere & Mood
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #204, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $36 - $42
Here’s where the writer gets to work magic through language. Want to create an atmosphere that evokes an emotion in the reader? Do it through description, through setting, through the use of the senses, and the diction of your story. The right choice of words and you move a reader from feeling safe and secure to biting her nails; change the structure of your sentences and take the reader from relaxed to excited. In this workshop, explore techniques that create atmosphere, generate mood, and evoke emotion, with lots of in-workshop exercises you can apply to your own writing. For all writers—fiction and memoir/nonfiction.
