How might complicated and conflicting feelings inform your own writing? In this two-hour workshop\, we will examine examples of internal conflict in literature. This examination will form the basis for exercises in which you will investigate your own internal conflicts or those of your subjects and use them to create short scenes or stanzas.\n\n\nFor more information contact Henry Gloucesterwriters@gmail.com\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/paying-attention-to-internal-conflicts-how-to-use-complicated-and-contradictory-feelings-in-creative-writing/ CATEGORIES:Classes,Events,Readings,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/unnamed.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20200801T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20200801T123000 DTSTAMP:20260425T041342 CREATED:20200708T151328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200708T155333Z UID:10021-1596276000-1596285000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:True-Life Tales w/ a Twist DESCRIPTION:Join Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons\, producer of the nonfiction series No\, YOU Tell It!

The festival will be looking at what shapes our progressive future without losing “grounding” in our cultural roots and the history we grow out of. We will develop our personal connection with the “geography of our being”—the place in which we live\, work\, and create\, whether that place is Cape Ann or beyond. It is what poet Vincent Ferrini referred to as the “Holy Local\,” a lens through which to look at the world. \nClick here for more details. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/dogtown-writers-festival/ LOCATION:Various\, MA\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dogtown-4x6_2-e1560702236466.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190720T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190720T150000 DTSTAMP:20260425T041342 CREATED:20190623T023743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190719T193957Z UID:9456-1563613200-1563634800@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Framing the Story: An Introduction to the Art of the Graphic Memoir DESCRIPTION:Framing the Story: An Introduction to the Art of the Graphic Memoir\n \nBefore we can put a single word down on the page\, we must first behold the mental image\, however fleeting\, that informs our meaning-making process. This is what makes the graphic novel such an incredible lesson to us as writers. It teaches us how to frame images in such a way as to be almost cinematic in our approach to storytelling. Frame by frame\, we see firsthand the decisions that go into telling one’s life story and this awareness cannot but improve our own writing process – regardless of the genre. After thoroughly unpacking David Small’s graphic memoir\, Stitches\, participants will be invited to tell their own stories – at first in pictures (no drawing experience necessary; we welcome stick figures) and later in prose\, all while discussing the difficult art of balancing the verbal & visual aspects of the form.\n\nJuly 20-21  9am to 3pm\n\nCost: $250\nMinimum of 5 participants – Max 12\n\n \nRegistration is closed.\n \n\nJulie Batten teaches in the English department at Salem State University and is the founder of the Glass House Shelter Project\, a grassroots organization that brings college courses into homeless shelters. She recently did a TEDx talk at SSU about her work with marginalized folks and the power of the written word to give us a renewed sense of belonging in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWZjOB_5Yg \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n Tumblr\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest URL:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/event/framing-the-story-an-introduction-to-the-art-of-the-graphic-memoir/ LOCATION:Maud / Olson Library\, 108 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Classes,Events,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_2390-e1561257105391.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20190713T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20190713T150000 DTSTAMP:20260425T041342 CREATED:20190623T023246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190710T025016Z UID:9453-1563008400-1563030000@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:Naming the World with Julie Batten DESCRIPTION:Naming the World – a weekend of Personal Essay based on Bret Anthony Johnston’s book.\nTo write well we must be able to “name the world” around us in such a way as to throw a new light on the ordinary\, to see the everyday through a different lens – one that measures the now on its own terms without preconception or expectation. On the first day of this two-day workshop\, we will use the prompts from Johnson’s book to explore all of the basic elements of crafting compelling personal essays including character and setting\, dialogue and narrative style\, etc. We will write (and write some more) and spend the second day workshopping and discussing the bounty of our work and of course\, revising! Come with your stories and personal observations and family yarns. Come with your muses and musings and courage enough to wrangle it all onto the page! You will leave on Sunday afternoon with at least one revised and completed essay. \nJuly 13-14  9am to 3pm\nCost: $250\nMinimum of 5 participants – Max 12\n\n \n\nJulie Batten teaches in the English department at Salem State University and is the founder of the Glass House Shelter Project\, a grassroots organization that brings college courses into homeless shelters.
