Deckle Edge 17 Workshop Setting: Use It for Mood, Use It as a Character, but Use It Well
Description: The place where your story unfolds provides the backdrop against which your drama plays out. With knowledge gained from a decade of mystery and suspense courses at Marylands Bethesda Writers Center, Hill will show how setting is more than a backdrop for action; it is an interactive part of your fictional world that saturates the story with mood, meaning, and thematic connotations. Participants in the workshop are encouraged (but not commanded) to bring one (1) sample paragraph of their own writing that shows setting, or to send two (2) such paragraphs at least four days ahead of time to Hill at Hillerroo@gmail.com. Your writing will be gently critiqued in a manner that highlights both its weaknesses and strengths.
