Hi2020 Mini Course 2: Why write a story?

Written and narrated by France Ellul.  Writer's coach and English Teacher

Podcast Two in the Mini course series:

.

Hello everyone. My name is France Ellul. 

I teach a creative writing course consisting of a series of hands-on workshops. These have been focused initially on short-story writing and I’ve been asked to put together three podcasts summarising some of the material I’ve used.

This is the second of three podcasts in which I share hints and tips for writing short stories. You will hear two other voices besides mine: one belongs to Clare Newton, the other to Annie Parker. Both are also writers and artists.

In the first podcast, I dealt with the question: what is a story? In this podcast, I shall ask the question: why write a story?

In Podcast: 2, I share the next three of my ten “Tips on Creative Writing”. These are:

  • 4. Pivotal point
  • 5. Significant dialogue
  • 6. Context, text, subtext
  • In the third and final podcast of this series, I’ll share the remaining four “Tips on Creative Writing” as well as contemplating further aspects of the art of story writing.

    • Visual imagery  - relating to the sense of sight
    • Auditory imagery - relating to the sense of hearing
    • Olfactory imagery - relating to the sense of smell
    • Gustatory imagery - relating to the sense of taste
    • Tactile imagery  - relating to the sense of touch
