Memoir Writing Toolbox
What is it?
The online writing toolbox is a collection of writing techniques, tips along with hands-on practical exercises on how to produce engaging, riveting, gripping, effective, and just plain great writing. The tools cover an array of literary devices and methods such as; openings, closings, characterizations, story structure, POV, descriptions, metaphor, dialogue, plot development, proof reading, sensory details, story styles and much, much more!
How is it used?
The tool box is intended as a precursor to the upcoming structured online writing programs. There will be no need to repeat these techniques in each class, just a quick reference to the specific tools that would be needed for the specific writing and assignments. If you’re writing a story about a particular person from your past, you would be encouraged to practice the characterization tool, along with dialogue, sensory details and description tools to create a memorable and evocative portrayal that transports the reader back to that person’s time, place and experiences.
Who is it for?
The tools can be accessed and used for both memoir and fiction writing purposes and is intended for the beginner as well as the seasoned writer. Everyone can benefit from new or renewed writing guidelines and applications.
