Writers Roundtable – February 2020
“How to Breathe Life into Your Characters”
with Morgan St. James
Creating characters doesn’t have to be daunting. It is important to remember that the reader
sees events through the eyes of the players in your story.
Morgan St. James will lead us in a discussion about drawing on our own
emotional experiences and using a notebook as a personal databank
to tap into our own impressions and avoid cliches.
Tuesday February 11, 2020 from 6:30 – 7:30 PM
inside the Coffee Press
at the Paseo Verde Library in Green Valley Ranch, Henderson.

This month’s topic: Saving Your Darlings
The old adage “kill your darlings” has been editing advice given to writers for decades.
This month we’re going to talk about getting to the heart of style
by looking at what we love about our own writing
and discussing saving, rather than deleting, what you love best about it.
