Today, Joyce invites you to join her, as she gives a craft talk on the language we use to lay out our stories. Language and our use of it, form the building blocks of absolutely everything in writing, and today, we dive into two lists of very different language - one Joyce calls, "dead language", and the other, "And Now for the Good Stuff". 
This is an early exercise for all those who attend Joyce's workshop, and we thank each one of the nine brave women, whose words are used here, for their generosity in sharing this session.
