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:20260424T232248 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!

stream on Facebook!\n\n\nPeter Almond is a documentary and narrative filmmaker\, whose career includes work on public issues as a journalist and in public policy with both US and international projects. Current work include a drama set in the lead up to Civil War when Frederick Douglass abandons hope of a moral/political solution to ending slavery\, and concludes that war is the only way to resolve the crisis and end the nation’s embrace of inequality. These themes figure through Almond’s background in community organizing and policy around community control\, initiatives framed by power to communities suffering injustice. Ukraine\, Hungary\, and US struggle for democracy shape efforts to bring voices from these communities to full participation in public debate.  \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/peter-almond-2/ LOCATION:Gloucester Writers Center\, 126 East Main Street\, Gloucester\, 01930 CATEGORIES:Events,Readings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://archive.gloucesterwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/peteralmond.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20200311T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20200311T210000 DTSTAMP:20260424T232248 CREATED:20200129T183140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200304T180909Z UID:9821-1583955000-1583960400@archive.gloucesterwriters.org SUMMARY:A Reading from spoKe six DESCRIPTION:A reading from spoKe six including David Rich reading from his essay on Gerrit Lansing\, James Cook reading from his essay on Sam Cornish\, poems by John Mulrooney\, Jim Dunn and Amanda Cook.
