FROM EVERYDAY TO DRAMATIC MOMENT http://www.writespacejerusalem.com/from-everyday-to-dramatic-moment---ilana-blumberg---feb-28-2019.html

a masterclass with award-winning author & prize-winning lecturer

ILANA BLUMBERG

FEBRUARY 28, 10:00-15:00

We will explore two different ways to narrate our past as it explains who we are today: we can tell this story by finding critical, dramatic moments that we believe shaped us or we can try to evoke the general tenor of the world in which we grew up.

How can we put these two approaches into balance so as to create compelling narratives of our own development?

​How can such writing help us understand who we understand ourselves to be, and what we see as our place in the world, today?

This workshop is relevant for fiction writers considering how to create rich characters, as well as memoir writers reflecting on their own lives.
