SUMMARY:Crafting a Scene: Turning Moments into Story
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day-long Woven Word Symposium. Attend one of our workshops for writers!\n\n\nJoin us for the first of two workshops for writers on Sunday\, May 31st. In this morning workshop\, learn to craft a scene. \nA scene isn’t just characters talking in a room. It’s pressure. It’s desire. It’s change. \nIn this focused 75-minute session\, author and instructor Patti Murphy unpacks the anatomy of a strong scene and shows you how to build one that actually does strong narrative work. Learn how to ground your scene in character want\, raise the stakes\, weave internal and external conflict together\, and end with meaningful movement. \nIf you’ve ever wondered why some scenes crackle and others quietly stall\, this workshop will give you the clarity — and the tools — to fix it. \nFree to participate. WBPL membership not required. \nAbout the Presenter: \nPatti Murphy writes character-driven fiction about complicated women making questionable decisions under pressure — often with magic involved. She is the author of the Stafford Falls series and recently published Deep Fried Evil\, an urban fantasy set in an Ottawa diner where supernatural threats are handled alongside the lunch rush. \nHer work has been described as emotionally sharp\, darkly funny\, and deeply interested in the consequences of love\, loyalty\, and the choices made in their name. \nShe spends most of her time making things up\, and occasionally leaves her desk to talk about how stories work. \nFor more information: Websites: PattiWritesBooks.com and pencilandprose.ca \nInstagram: @patti_writes_books and @pencilandprose

SUMMARY:Dialogue & Interior Life - Revealing Character on the Page
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day-long Woven Word Symposium. Attend our workshops for writers!\n\n\nJoin us for the second of two workshops for writers on Sunday\, May 31st. In this afternoon workshop\, learn tips for dialogue writing. \nGreat dialogue isn’t just about what characters say — it’s about what they think\, feel\, avoid\, and reveal in the spaces between words. \nIn this 75-minute workshop\, Patti Murphy explores the relationship between dialogue and interiority\, and how the two work together to create depth\, tension\, and emotional resonance. Learn how to write dialogue that sounds natural without becoming filler\, how to layer subtext beneath spoken exchanges\, and how to use interior life to sharpen conflict and deepen point of view. \nYou’ll leave with practical strategies for making conversations dynamic\, purposeful\, and rich with meaning — on the page and beneath it. \nFree to participate. WBPL membership not required. \nAbout the Presenter: \nPatti Murphy writes character-driven fiction about complicated women making questionable decisions under pressure — often with magic involved. She is the author of the Stafford Falls series and recently published Deep Fried Evil\, an urban fantasy set in an Ottawa diner where supernatural threats are handled alongside the lunch rush. \nHer work has been described as emotionally sharp\, darkly funny\, and deeply interested in the consequences of love\, loyalty\, and the choices made in their name. \nShe spends most of her time making things up\, and occasionally leaves her desk to talk about how stories work. \nFor more information: \nWebsites: PattiWritesBooks.com and pencilandprose.ca \nInstagram: @patti_writes_books and @pencilandprose
