Feeling It: Creating Emotional Depth in Fiction [Alma García]

Emotion is the point of connection between reader and story—the portal into a character’s life and a whole imagined universe. Yet sometimes we fumble our role as gatekeepers, either creating flat, inaccessible characters or pitching headlong into melodrama. How and when should we control the emotional volume? We’ll explore a variety of modes for conveying emotion and will do short writing exercises designed to punch through the door to our character’s emotional lives.

This class is held at the Good Shepherd Center, Room 223, 4649 Sunnyside Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103
