Workshop
Writing Acoustically
What does it mean for writers to know that readers' minds and souls can "hear" what we write, that an internal sound and rhythm pattern plays within them as they read our novels? We deepen the experience for our readers when we write acoustically, when we write for the ear. Those are the words, stories, and life lessons that reverberate. How do writers address the "architectural" acoustics of the atmosphere they're creating with their fiction and nonfiction? Does the "sound" ricochet or resonate?
