CLASS 67: Exploring Emotions and Symbols in Fiction

Powerful page-turning, dynamic, novels are bathed in undeniable emotions. Emotions usher in sensory perception and gather word choices, symbols, body language, and various literary techniques to show a distinct character embracing a story world. The core of our story is the intimacy of a character internalizing and processing the world around them. The changes in a character’s life produces psychological reactions and responses connected to feelings, memories, and behavior. This workshop will show the writer how to create emotions that are in character, show credibility, and the various ways to invite the reader into the story. Hands-on and handouts provided.
