No detail must be neglected in art, for a button half undone may explain a whole side of a persona’s character. It is absolutely essential to mention that button. —Henri Troyat
One of the ways to move the reader from reading to experiencing your writing is through the effective use of detail. Not enough detail and you’re awash in a sea of generalities; too many and you must slog your way through seaweed to get to shore. But the right details in the right places bring the writing to life and include the reader in the world of the story. This workshop will address the use of the smallest of details that can bring the story to life through description, character, dialogue and narrative, and focus on how to select and render the telling detail.
This workshop is part of San Diego Writers, Ink annual Fall For Writing Conference and will be offered both live and In Person and via Zoom.
