Paint Your Prose: Creating a Sense of Place Using Nature-Writing
Techniques
July 15, Rocky Mountain National Park
Vividly creating a "sense of place" draws readers into
a story and engages them powerfully. The techniques used in nature writing to capture "place" can be used
in creative writing of all sorts--to create setting and place for fiction, narrative nonfiction, memoir, essay and even expository
articles. Learn how to look closely at the world around you, use all your senses, find universal themes in what you see, use
metaphor and other techniques. Class will include writing exercises and practice in the field at Rocky Mountain National Park.
Time: 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Cost:
$70. For complete information & registration,
