10 Prompts To Deepen Your Writing We’ll use other art forms to explore what’s beneath the surface — learning to layer emotion, theme, and universal truths into stories that will matter to a reader. This workshop is designed to inspire you to deepen your writing with emotional weight. By examining your response to a variety of visual and musical prompts including painting, sculpture, photography, short film, dance, and music video, we’ll learn to notice underlying emotion. Since everything we create is a representation of something larger, we’ll practice translating your feelings to the page so that they can live in your characters and resonate with readers. Participants will leave with fresh ideas for their memoir and fiction, and the confidence to move beyond surface-level writing.In this workshop you'll learn to:

Create underlying emotion​

Make the ordinary extraordinary

Define your story’s intention and purpose

Find meaningful connections ​

 

*This workshop is open to all writers, especially fiction and memoir writers, who are interested in deepening their ideas and creating emotional resonance on the page.
