Write A Short Story - One day Course - Gorey -October 3rd, with writer Sheila Forsey.
Have you ever had an idea for a story but wondered what to do with it?
Perhaps you have a character in your head, a place that you think would make a great setting, a memory you keep returning to, or simply the feeling that there is a story somewhere inside you.
I am delighted to be offering a One Day Short Story Course - in Gorey on October 3rd, for anyone who would like to explore writing a short story.
During the day, we will look at how to develop an idea, create memorable characters, build tension and give your story shape.
We will also look at some of the craft of the short story and some of the questions that often arise when we begin to write. How long should a short story be? How many settings should you use? Which point of view works best? How do you bring some structure to an idea and turn it into a story?
If you are looking for inspiration, there will be plenty of prompts and exercises to get you thinking and writing.
This is a friendly, practical workshop for anyone who would like to explore short-story writing, whether you are completely new to it or have been writing for years and would like a refresher on the craft of the short story.
I will be facilitating the workshop. I am a published author and have many years of experience as a creative writing tutor. I hope the day will give you the opportunity to spend some uninterrupted time writing, experimenting with ideas and developing your own story.
