Sentences

Wednesday, November 9th

The following are the plans for this coming Wednesday's Novel Orchard meeting.

Sentence Workshop

What is it exactly that makes a good sentence? Is it a hook? Is it simply a well-crafted sentence? What sort of information does it contain? Do you have any idea?

Wednesday, we'll go over this. We'll craft sentences, and then pare them down to good sentences. By the end of the evening, you'l understand passive voice and how to avoid it, modifiers and why they're not descriptive, and what sort of information you, as a reader, actually want to see in the sentences you read, and why you want to see it.

Come with paper and pen or pencil to write and then share what you've written.

What do you think makes a great sentence?
