Writing from the Heart with Bobbie Pell

Storyteller and writer Bobbie Pell has partnered with the Transylvania Community Arts Council to offer a 5 week writing class at the TC Arts Council entitled Writing from the Heart. This class will run on Tuesdays in March (March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29). What does it mean to “write from the heart” in today’s world? By examining personal definitions of this phrase, each writer will learn to deepen characterization, to interweave emotional threads into exhilarating plot lines, and to examine imagery to relay mood. Short exercises, storytelling works by national tellers, and journaling methods expand student’s writing horizons. In-class writings will create drafts ready for fictional scenes, non-fiction articles, poems, or simply personal use. Cost for this class is $175. Call the TC Arts Council to register at 828.884.2787. The TC Arts Council is located at 349 S. Caldwell Street in Brevard, NC. www.tcarts.org
