Saturday | Grass Valley Workshop - Let’s Get Physical

Have you ever wondered or marveled at writing that, in describing something physical, offers its reader interiority that allows us to better know a character? This generative workshop will focus on just that—prose about the physical that ultimately opens up and gives much more. Participants will engage in activities where they observe their reactions to and impressions created by physical objects, analyze exemplary passages, and write their own prose that contributes to better knowing one of their characters.
