DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger\, this worksho
 p welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. This month's topic: Detail
 s.\nhttps://geneva.libnet.info/event/16240191
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Discussion topic: This month&rsquo\;s topi
 c explores a common piece of writing advice: writers often &ldquo\;overtel
 l&rdquo\; instead of letting dialogue and action speak for themselves.&nbs
 p\;The discussion will look at when description becomes too much telling\,
  when writers should trust readers to fill in the blanks\, and how that ca
 n deepen a reader&rsquo\;s investment in the story. We will also consider 
 how much writers should describe the physical characteristics of their cha
 racters.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The Night Writers Workshop discusses various topic
 s within writing and provides a welcoming environment for peer feedback. T
 he program is organized into two sections: critique of submitted manuscrip
 ts and discussion of writing topics. For more information on submitting a 
 manuscript\, please visit&nbsp\;<span style="color: #00a3b2\;"><span style
