New, by popular demand!
Young writers love traumatizing their characters. Battle scenes, secret assassinations, and Machiavellian schemes is the easy (and fun) part of writing. Diving into a traumatized character’s emotional state afterward is much harder.
Enter Sad Sack Saturdays: three independent classes about expressing bleak emotions in realistic ways. We’ll discuss how people internally and externally express sad emotions, then look to published examples of loneliness, depression, and grief before trying our own hand at specific writing prompts.
Each two-hour session will focus on a different emotion; students are welcome to drop in for just one class or sign up for all three. Open to 7th–12 graders.
120 minutes
Saturdays, 10a.m.–noon
Dates: December 19 (Loneliness), January 16 (Depression), February 20 (Grief)
