Do you struggle with writing description? Think your flower description is droopy or your living room is bloated with unnecessary details? Bring a piece of writing you have been working on or create something new in class. Through discussion, sharing, samples and writing exercises we will spend the day painting with words in a way readers will understand, using only the most thoughtful word choices to paint a scene.
This class take place in person at the Alexandra Writers’ Centre in Calgary.
