Third Sunday Craft is a monthly gathering of creative writers that fosters support, inspiration, and community. More than craft classes, Third Sunday Craft will help you construct and sustain a writing practice. New focus topics for each session will challenge writers to explore and expand their craft. Generative writing prompts will encourage you to grow and learn in exciting new ways. Sharing your work within a safe, supportive community will help you discover and strengthen your voice. Finally, with the goal of fostering supportive accountability, each session will conclude with a writer’s intentions for the month. February: Scenes, Sequences and Acts: The goal of this class is to introduce writers to the importance of using scenes in our narratives. Basic scene architecture will be explored, as well as the criticality of showing and not telling, when we write. Scenes are often coupled together to form a ‘sequel’ and sequels are combined to form the ‘act’. We will explore all 3 of these story design principles. Stay Connected with San Diego Writers, Ink!
