Stretching Your Narrative Voice
We are often told as writers that we need to "find our voice" as though this is a singular craft element or a lost set of keys!
I like to suggest that we have many voices that we can inhabit and that part of being a successful writer (and a joyous one) is the ability to experiment with different voices.
Also, to explore a wide range of narrative structures, and to free up our creative muse, rather than attempt to box it into one distinctive voice.
In this writing workshop we'll dive into various narrative structures that can help us expand our notions of what creative writing can do on the page.
We will look at traditional notions of plot arc, how/when this is a useful tool for our writing process, and when it's time to deconstruct, experiment, and shatter the old models in order to create riveting new work.
Bring your laptop or paper and pen as we will write a lot. The class is open to writers of all abilities (from beginners to longtime writers). All genres welcome!
The class will be led in English, but Alexander speaks and understands Danish as well.
