We will study storytelling and the formal elements of fiction, including voice, point of view, characterization, imagery, plot, and theme. Attention will also be given to scene building, sentence making, and the dramatic movement of descriptive writing.

Writers…get paid to write about your favorite subject!

Here’s a fabulous writing venue called Examiner.com, it pays per page views and asks for you to fill in their short application form, plus a few other documents once you are accepted.

They don’t pay upfront fees, but do pay per page views, which means, of course that I’m going to ask anyone who may be interested in my writing to view my articles and “Add me” as a favorite, become a subscriber and leave a comment or two on the articles you most enjoyed!

If you’re interested in the environment, the link to my articles is at:
http://www.examiner.com/x-14744-LA-Renewable-Energy-Examiner and my user number is 14744.

When you make up your profile page and get readers, it’s like getting free advertising for your business!

Energetically,
Diane Tegarden
