Narrative Time: A Workshop on Pacing and Plot
Intermediate / Advanced | Flashbacks and flash-forwards, circular narrative and modular plotting, a protagonist’s amnesia and a moment stretched into pages—time interacts with story in so many ways. We’ll examine how to get time on your (narrative) side, looking at each other’s work with an eye to how time interacts with structure, character, and theme to best serve the tale you’re telling. We’ll also carefully examine the use of time in The Great Gatsby, discussing a few chapters each.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
