Event Description
For a year now, Matilda Butler and I have been teaching online writing workshops through Story Circle Network. Our Five Senses program is very popular. He's the description:
The best stories pull the readers into the scenes, immerse them in details. This three-week mini-course is designed to expand your awareness and use of the five senses in telling your life story. In our virtual classroom, you'll learn how to incorporate sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch into your writing and heighten your sensitivity to the depth and range of texture within each sense.
