Writing 2.0 Advanced Workshops: Style & Rhythm with Ellen

Writing 2.0 Advanced Workshops: Style & Rhythm

Thursday, Oct 2 6:30-8:00pm Community Room

Registration Preffered, Walk-ins Welcome as Space Allows

What is your style? Style is a personal or an individual way of writing. It can also convey the overall impression of a piece of writing – from plain, grand, pompous, or official. Speaking is intuitive, but writing is a learned behavior. You can discover your own style by writing regularly. You can also employ variations in sentence structure and punctuation for rhetorical effects. This class will take a close look at word order, grammar, and mechanics—stylistic options consciously chosen by writers. Participants will also experiment with devices and constructions that combine sentences for rhythm and effect. Learn how you can use style to your advantage in communicating your ideas and conveying your vision.

Bring your favorite writing tools, whether electronic or mechanical.

Paper and pens/pencils will be available as back up.
