Find the music in your writing with this four-part weekly workshop series throughout June at The Joy of Fixion. Immerse yourself in a varied playlist and use writing exercises to inspire stories, characters, settings and ideas.
Each lesson will invite you to immerse yourself in a varied playlist of songs to inspire stories, characters, settings, ideas - all that jazz (and maybe some actual jazz!)
Drop in to each asynchronous lesson and try out a range of musical writing exercises. We'll explore songs that are secretly tiny stories. We'll learn how to translate a melody into a literary mood. We'll borrow songwriting techniques for our ficion. We'll get inspired by love songs and heartbroken songs, revenge songs and revolutionary songs. We'll step into the music and discover whole worlds of people and places that only exist for three-and-a-half minutes at a time.
By the end of the month, you'll look at (and listen to) music in a whole different way — and maybe even make it a more integral part of your writing process.
