Teen Writing Program: Creative Classroom with Jyotsna Sreenivasan

Columbus, Ohio-based author Jyotsna Sreenivasan joins PLMVKC's Teen Writing Program on Thursday, October 20 for a creative writing workshop, "Brain Hemispheres and Creativity". We will learn how the brain works when it is creating something new, and how to “turn on” the creative side of the brain. We will practice using simple free writing exercises, then explore how to use free writing for any aspect of your writing, such as generating ideas, getting started with a scene, character development, dialogue, and endings. We will also touch on using free writing for personal growth.
Registration required. Thursday, October 20, 2022 via Webinar, 7:00 PM Visit www.knox.net, email knoxwrites1@gmail.com or call (740) 392-BOOK ext 259 for more information. |

Teen Writing Program: Creative Classroom with Jamie Lyn Smith
Teen Writers! On Monday, October 31 at 7:00pm the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County and BreakBread Literacy Project present an online fiction workshop with Jamie Lyn Smith.
So many beloved novels and short stories feature animated characters: talking cans of beans, forks and spoons; a group of farm animals staging a rebellion; cowardly lions and frightened scarecrows; a chorus of mosquitos creepily narrating three generations of life in Zambia; a spider that saves a pig from being butchered at the County Fair. What happens to our fiction if we stop thinking of “magic realism” as “magical” and just think of it as “realism”?
In this workshop, participants will complete writing prompts that explore ways to create compelling fiction that reimagines and realizes the “inanimate” and “animal” in vivid, full color.
This workshop is open to participants age 13-18, and advance registration is required.
For more information, visit www.knox.net, email knoxwrites1@gmail.com, or call (740) 392-2665 ext. 259.
