This session examines the dynamics of writing, the way some moments have tremendous weight and volume, and others are so tiny and quiet that they slide right past, barely noticed.
Goldie will explore stories as if they are a piece of music that we are all learning to play with the assistance of a good conductor. How can we learn to use masterful dynamic phrasing in our own work? This craft talk will demystify some of these skills of make them accessible to all of us.
