Join author Ariele Sieling as she delves into the intricacies of story and the craft of writing. She will be using Ursula K. Le Guin’s book titled Steering the Craft as the basis, with each workshop focusing on a new topic, including: a discussion of story, voice, grammar, syntax, repetition, words, person, tense, point of view, and more. Each workshop will include a short summary of Le Guin’s perspective on the topic, a discussion of the concept, and a writing exercise to take home with you. You can grab a copy of the book and read along, or you can just drop in and enjoy the sessions without.

This session will look closely at sentences, clear vs confusing sentences, and how to craft sentences that are beautiful and that tell the story as clearly as possible.
