Workshop Outline
Week 1: Introducing the Senses In the first session, you'll learn about how the five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch and taste) can bring your writing to life and take your reader right to the scene. There will be some writing exercises so you can start creating vivid scenes.
Week 2: Using Description in Stories We'll now move on to how you can use your descriptive skills in story writing. It's important not to overdo it as the story can become lost. But a few uses of the senses, dotted here and there, can make your reader feel involved in your story. You'll have the opportunity to put this into practice.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
