Writing Retreat Review

写作静修回顾

2019年6月2日 通过 y

从5月24日至5月26日,来自上海写作工作室的15名作家前往崇明岛,进行了为期三天的写作,学习和社交活动。

我们举办了各种不同的研讨会和写作挑战,使作者可以反思自己的技能,并建立一套技能,这将对以后的写作工作产生帮助。瑞安·索普(Ryan Thorpe)带领上午进行速写和头脑风暴,并讲解小说与非小说之间的鸿沟以及出版过程。

斯蒂芬妮·埃尔南德斯(Stephanie Hernandez),迈克·罗宾逊(Mike Robinson)和摩根·席林伯格(Morgan Schillingberg)的演讲范围从情色,创造怪物到发展短篇小说的压力。每个研讨会都将理论与实践相结合,使参与者有机会将理论应用于自己的写作中。

After three days, everyone left the island full of lessons and new approaches for writing and revising fiction. With lots of small writing exercises to fuel us, we learned that Ezra Pound was right when he stated that “perception is the beginning of imagination.” Many of the writers in attendance are likely to keep writing afterwards, and as one participant noted, “writing with a group in the weekend morning sunlight feels damn awesome!”
