Shakirah Bourne covered the various elements for creating distinct narrative voice.
Here's your "homework" for this month. LOL
Describe Shakirah's workshop in ONE word!
What was your main takeaway from today's session?
And what narrative voice will you use in your next work?
Looking forward to your responses. 😊
Engaging!
Takeaway: I need to get to know my characters more. To really dig into their motivations and worldviews so that they can become fully realised as people who jump off the page.
Probably third person as it is my favourite. :)
Inspiring! My takeaway: The narrative voice can feed off many sources. I'm going to write a piece of speculative flash fiction using a hardboiled voice.
What a useful session! So well organised and expressed. Fun too.
Hi All,
The slides for Shakirah's presentation are attached here.
Thanks, again, for participating. 🙏🏾
EDUCATIONAL
I learned to pay special attention to the voices of characters.
All voices.
Shakirah's workshop was informative!!! I appreciated the exploration of character: how to build our characters and how much voice matters. I might try first person narrative.
Excellent session. Fun as usual. I took away a lot today as always.
Insightful! The importance of a narrative voice. First Person
Great
