Sharelle Byars Moranville I Can See Clearly Now: Writing Your Way To Fresh Descriptions In Young Adult And Middle Grade Fiction
I Can See Clearly Now: Writing Your Way To Fresh Descriptions In Young Adult And Middle Grade Fiction Have you ever heard the rule of thumb that a scene should be a fairly equal mix of dialogue, action, and description? That’s a lot of description—and a wonderful opportunity to draw in the reader as you describe where your characters are both physically and emotionally. Good description is narrator driven. It reveals character. Expands conflict. Creates setting. Contributes to unity. It freshens your voice and enriches your style. During our week together, we’ll explore ways to do all of this. We will focus on generating new work, rather than on critiquing manuscripts brought from home, so you don’t need to have a work in progress. However, if you do have one, feel free to bring it along. It will make a great application for the principles we’ll be talking about. During class, we will read, write, and discuss; and there will also be reading and writing assignments outside of class.
