Creative Writing with Molly Best Tinsley: Coming to Your Senses, 18+ YRS
Join creative writing instructor and award winning author Molly Best Tinsley in a three-part series of writing workshops.
Part two is called Coming to your Senses. Creative writing begins with creative perception. We'll clarify that old imperative, Show, don't tell, and explore the role of all five senses in creating the illusion of Life on the page.
An Air Force brat who landed on the civilian faculty of the US Naval Academy, Molly Best Tinsley taught literature and creative writing before the publication of her first novel, My Life with Darwin, prompted her heading west to Ashland to write full-time. Her story collection Throwing Knives won the Sandstone Prize and the Oregon Book Award. Her most recent novel is A Modest Trumpet Fanfare. Told in five voices, it is a story of the multi-generational impact of military service on one family.
