SUMMARY:June Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The May Monthly Workshop is Coming Up on Thursday\, June 4th @7pm! \nWe’ll be meeting in person at the\nBLACK POTION \n(first room in the hallway behind the register) \n1900 Fredricksburg Rd Suite 101 \nSan Antonio\, TX 78201 \nThis month’s topic is \nCrafting Dialogue \nWhether your characters sound flat\, over-explain themselves\, or just don’t quite feel alive on the page yet\, this workshop will give you practical tools to make your dialogue feel more natural\, dynamic\, and memorable. \nCrafting Dialogue is a practical\, interactive workshop about writing sharper\, more engaging dialogue. Through live read-aloud examples\, published novel excerpts\, and a scene exercise built across three revision passes\, we’ll explore how dialogue reveals character\, creates tension\, builds subtext\, and controls pacing. Writers of all genres and experience levels are welcome. \nWe will meet at the Black Potion on Fredericksburg Rd. Parking is in the gravel parking lot next to the building\, as shown in the picture below. \nCome early and chat with fellow writers! Black Potion serves food and beverages.
