Devotion—by Pat Klein

LET THE TEACHING BEGIN

The Page-Turner’s “Secret Formula”, How to Write a Book That’s Hard to Put Down. Sarah Grosskopf will lead us into the mysterious hook that makes a novel a must read.

PROMPT: Varying Tension

Imagine that tension or excitement falls on a scale from 1 (dead boring) to 5 (edge of your seat exciting).  While writing, you have a “tension meter” that goes from 1 to 5.  Write a five-line poem or five-sentence story with each sentence set at a different level of tension, following the pattern 3-2-1-4-5.

If time allows, we will also allow 5-minute readings from our writers as time allows at the end of the teaching.
