Creative Writing with Joy Winkler

Food for thought Of this workshop, Joy says…. “Food, its production, taste, availability, trends, can be a great item to include in a piece of writing. Just the names of ingredients or details of achieving a recipe can paint a mental picture or stir interest in a reader. In this workshop we will look at various ways that including growing, harvesting, cooking, serving food in our writing can be an integral part of creating atmosphere, a back story, of good storytelling.

Also, we can include as ‘food for thought’ scenarios that use the trends of healthy and unhealthy food habits to maybe develop a character. For example, we could develop a character who only eats tomatoes or someone who tries to impose their own predilections onto their family and friends.”
