This just in…
Sasha White will be conducting a virtual writing workshop on her blog July 28 through August 3. For those of you who can’t make it to the RWA conference in San Francisco that weekend, join Sasha for VOICE: The Magic Behind the Words.
~ “Voice is a topic near and dear to me, because not only is it something I feel makes an author special, it’s something I feel confident talking about,” Sasha said. “If you want to learn what I think makes voice strong, join me on July 28th and take part in my free Virtual Workshop.”
~ Topics to be included are:
What Is Voice?
On the first day we’ll talk about what Voice is and why it’s so important to develop your own. There will be exercises to help you discover your own strengths and discussion on how to capitalize on them.What Is Style?
Your voice is part of your style and your style is part of your Voice. The two are separate things, but they have to work together to create an individual flavor for each author’s storytelling. This day we’ll cover the different aspects of style and how to recognize your own.Trusting Your Characters.
So you know your characters and you’re ready to tell their story, yet you’re struggling. It might be because you’re not listening to them. Part of voice and style is the characters that you create. However, you’re not doing yourself any favors by creating fantastic characters, then not staying true to them within the story. I’ll share some of my tricks with you on how to turn off your own mind so your characters can speak through you.Trusting Your Instincts
We all have them, we just don’t always listen to them. You are now working for yourself and you need to learn to trust yourself in all aspects of your work from the words you put on the pages to the brand you want to build.
Last Chance Q & A
The final day will finish with a no holds barred Q & A period. If you have any questions left for me, this is the time.
~ And prizes are to be had! Critique sessions and signed books will be up for grabs.
