In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you :+fav: the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.

2008 Ink Session: "Writing - A Natural Experience"

*ProsePlease:iconProsePlease: reports, February 14, 2008
It's been a long time coming but Ink Sessions are back! These online workshops, held in the #InkSessions Chatroom, is organised by *ProsePlease. For those of you new to the Sessions, they are a series of informal activities to encourage the meeting of writers and more importantly, literature-based discussion and development. All Ink Sessions are logged to provide a transcript for anyone unable to make it.


Topic: "Writing - A Natural Experience."

Many developing writers (and well practised writers!) often find it very difficult to bring realism into their writing. Without doubt, there are many degrees of realism which aren't just limited to genre. Writers must consider the authenticity of their characters' portrayal, dialogue and story setting. This particular workshop not only focuses on these issues but more importantly, the varying levels of realism in writing style. There will also be particular emphasis on how to balance creativity (or surreal ideas) with enough plausibility to make your story work. So if you're a writer struggling with the concept of realism or lacking depth in your writing, this is the workshop for you!


Ink Session Details

**Note: Due to frequent confusion with different time zones, we are now using UTC instead of EST time. Hopefully, this will reduce the confusion with daylight savings. For help converting your timezone to UTC, please visit [link] OR see [link] to see what the current times of cities around the world compared to the current UTC.**

    WHEN: 24th of February, Sunday at UTC 12:00am (midnight)
    WHERE: #InkSessions Chatroom
    WHO: All members, non-members and other respected guests.
    TOPIC: "Writing - A Natural Experience"
    INKLEADERS: *vampbabe and *AxDude



Activities

:bulletblue: 1# Brainstorm--> Participants will be asked a series of open & individual questions to establish our current ideas of what is "realistic or natural" writing. This activity is designed to encourage conversation and exchange of ideas.

:bulletblue: 2# Authentic Voice Mini Debate--> We will examine how an "Authentic Voice" can add value and dimension to writing. In this activity, participants will be randomly grouped into pairs. Each set of pairs will be presented with a statement which either accords or doesn't support "Authentic Voice". We will then invite the two paired writers to have a mini-debate (limited to 1 posts each). The debate will be somewhat differently as there is no forced Pro or Con stance. The winner (as decided by the votes of the other participants) is the writer which best conveys understanding or extension of the statement, whether they agree or disagree with the statement.

:bulletblue: 3# Case Study--> Two examples of excellent writing will be reviewed to investigate how the author balanced realism with effective writing. Participants will be invited to comment on style and techniques in the writing and pick out important pointers which we could apply to our own future projects. This particular activity will focus upon balance of realism against creative writing.

:bulletblue: FAQ and more!



More about Ink Sessions:

How does a session work?
An Ink Session is usually lead by an InkLeader, who selects the topic of the day and the activities to explore the topic. It is set in the chatroom #InkSessions and run as a live workshop. The InkLeader will answer any questions you have and offer directions as to how the activities will work.

What if I can only make it for the beginning, middle or end?
Doesn't matter. Just rock up when you can and join in. It is preferable however that you stay for at least 30mins to 1 hour, as some activities need a bit of your time and attention.

What if I can't make it at all?
No problem. We keep logs of all InkSessions. :thumbsup:

Can I chat normally during the Ink Session?
Big No No. Please direct all non-related chat to #ProsePlease.

What if I have an idea for an Ink Session or want to lead one myself?
Please note all interests to the club, with "InkSession" in the subject area. Once your idea is OKayed by the Ink Session coordinator (*vampbabe), you can set the time and topic and off you go.
