Write Night returned from hiatus last night with an evening of learning, writing, and sharing. Novelist Walter Mosley was the featured Master Class video presenter, and the importance of vivid, descriptive language was the subject.
Bangkok-based journalist, author, and publisher Tom Vater (pictured here) expounded on the subject after the video, followed by group discussion.
Here are the next Write Night subjects for our Tuesday night, 7:30pm Indochina Time events on May 18, June 1, June 15, and June 29.
Finding the Time to Write
David Baldacci on how to become a writer while holding down a separate job. How to plan a text.
The Elements of Story
Dan Brown on how to build a story; the use of conflict as a basic plot element.
Intrigue your Reader
James Patterson on creating scenarios that pull your readers along.
Exploring Taboo and Darkness
Joyce Carol Oates on committing to what you want to write about; and how to break your craft out of your comfort zone.
All levels of writing welcome. As Walter points out in his video, we are all writers and storytellers. All Writers of Koh Phangan events are free, non-native English speakers welcome, and sharing is optional. Join our 600-member group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/writersofkohphangan
