SUMMARY:HOW-TO TUESDAY: Minding Your C's -- Contrast\, Conflict and Change with Lillie Gardner
DESCRIPTION:In creative nonfiction\, truth is paramount — but crafting a good story is still essential. \nEnter the 3 C’s: contrast\, conflict and change are crucial for keeping our stories compelling for the reader. \n\nContrast leads to distinct characters and memorable moments.\nConflict comes with clear stakes and tension\, which bring momentum to the reading experience.\nChange is what we’re reading for: what happens\, how does it escalate\, and why is everything different because of it?\n\nIn this How-to session\, we’ll dive into these essential components of story and identify strategies to strengthen them in our own writing. Participants will leave with a checklist of questions to use when preparing their work for submission. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors.
