Lyrical Prose Workshop--Join me!

Lyrical Prose: Raise Your Writing to the Next Level by Georgina Key

Two Saturdays
Nov 6 & Nov 13
from 1-4

Do you enjoy stories that immerse you in place so you can smell the sea air or that describe an object so acutely you can feel it in your hand? 

Finding a poetic cadence, adding sensory detail, or distilling profound meaning in just a few select words can raise your writing to another level that sets it apart from mere plot driven storytelling. I will offer you techniques to incorporate lyrical writing into your prose that doesn’t take away from the story itself, doesn’t bog it down with unnecessary detail but instead adds depth and nuance to every aspect, including character, theme, place—the opportunities are endless! We’ll work from generative prompts in class; you may bring samples from current works in progress that you’d like to enhance with lyricism, and we’ll look at some of my favorite lyrical passages as inspiration.

Shiny Bits Behind the Scenes Part 2--Little Yellow House

Did you know Dorie's house in Shiny Bits was based on my own little yellow house by the sea? Here it is...a nd as a bonus/extra: that amazing kitchen window I mentioned (along with a special musical accompaniment by Joe, my hubby!)  

Bolivar Peninsula Here I Come!

I made a recent trip to my beloved Bolivar to drop off some Shiny Bits paperbacks at a few local retailers. I took photos and video footage of my trip to share with my readers.  August 30th at 7 pm CST, watch my author spot at the  Literary Lockdown  Book Fair, hosted by Creative Central on Facebook for more behind-the-scenes of Shiny Bits In Between!  See you then! h 

Shiny Bits Collage

All these photos were taken on Bolivar Peninsula, Texas and reflect places and events in my novel. Each one of these images is a moment in my own life that ended up informing my writing of shiny bits in between --my homage to this extraordinary place.
