Instructor: Billie Williams. There's nothing worse than bland-as-oatmeal writing that doesn't evoke
passion, laughter, anger, love…some kind of emotion from your reader. Story tellers who don't elicit
emotion won't gain an avid readership. It's that simple.
If you've struggled, wondering how you can get your writing to sparkle like a new penny, or a just
cleaned window, learn to see everything as a metaphor for your writing. Start by looking in your spice
cabinet, or your herb garden with a fresh perspective.
Garlic, Life Saving but distancing
Easier to write from this perspective but it puts your reader at arm's length--remember readers want to
feel, experience, get to be friends with your main character so they can help him/her escape the
villains wrath.
Sage, Advice
Sage has several meanings from wise advice to healing properties - what does sage mean to your
story? We'll explore.
Basil, The flavor of language, dialect, cultures
Ah Basil - language - should you use dialect in your dialogue? How do you show culture if not through
language?
Lavender, Relax feel the flow--in sync [Chat here with a book giveaway as well as a book giveaway at
the end]
In the flow, relax, meditate let things go where they may--don't lose site of the big picture but let your
writing flow with a rhythm and cadence only you can create. Here's how.
Mace, Caustic, self defense, breaking the rules
An irritant chemical, a heavy club with a metal head and spikes - what could these possibly have to do
with writing you ask..follow me--it's all about rules.
All Spice, Apple pie or American Graffiti
All Spice is for cookies and more from on genre to another all spice imparts its unique twist, it's unique
flavor to your manuscript--your voice. We'll explore more.
