Remote Session (OCWW will be remote only through December 2020) 

There’s something about sentences that tell me how to feel. “Sally was so sad” leaves me cold. But how do writers convey emotion and mood in not so many words? We’ll be looking at the dynamics of sentences, and doing some fun experiments.

Bio: Goldie Goldbloom is an Australian writer living in Chicago with her eight children. Her latest novel is On Division, which was launched on September 17, 2019 from Farrar Straus and Giroux.
