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.

My grandfather was an Anderson and had that soft Scots burr that I find so beautiful. Mum went to boarding school here while her parents worked in Brasil, and she still has a visceral love of Scotland (bagpipes make her cry). She always shared stories of her life which I believe imprinted that love of Scotland onto me over the years. When I spent time here two summers ago, I was walking along Rosemarkie beach and turned a corner to a s...

Dreamy landscape right outside my front door

 I thought I'd share some outdoor pics with you first as that's what initially drew me to this stunning part of the country. Although I grew up in England and have spent a large potion of my life in the US, I decided on Scotland as my new home for several reasons. I knew I wanted to move back to my roots, and Scotland is where my mother and her family are from. Another priority for me was climate. Texas is not my ideal climate--I relish cold weather and gray days. Yes, I even enjoy rainy weather. And I want seasons. So here I am... Check back or subscribe to get a peek inside...
