课程名称：创造性写作：环境与描述的技巧 课程概述：本课程旨在向有志于成为作家的学员介绍虚构作品大师所使用的技巧，以将故事扎根于具体的世界中。无论是最现实的环境还是最幻想的场景，学员将学习如何以生动的感觉细节来描述物理世界。同时，我们还将学习如何通过研究来建立可信度，并运用创造性的冥想练习，加深自己对故事世界的理解，从而使读者能够“看见”我们所想象的一切。 课程大纲： 1. **有说服力的环境：描述的重要性** 描述一部精彩的短篇小说就像传达一个梦境。通过研究一位著名大师的作品，我们将认识到一个“有说服力”的环境在构建情绪、角色乃至情节中的必要性。 2. **如果你建造它，他们会来** 在你的虚构作品中填充“富含维生素”的细节。通过分析大师和学生的作品，我们将讨论细节如何可以变得幽默、有意义且强有力。 3. **可信度与研究** 创造出既熟悉又不熟悉的环境，同时避免常见错误。通过多个冥想练习，你将进行“想象研究”，以提升你的写作技巧。 4. **现实** 环境与描述在现实主义和非现实主义的虚构中，以及跨文学类型中都是有效的。考虑如何书写你自己的“原始景观”。
Name:Persuasive Settings: Why Description Matters
Description:Writing a great short story is like conveying a dream. As we will see from studying one famous master, a "persuasive" setting is necessary in order to build mood, character, and even plot.
Name:If You Build It, They Will Come
Description:Pack your fiction with "vitamin-rich" detail. Looking at the work of both masters and students, we will discuss how funny, meaningful, and powerful details can be.
Name:Credibility and Research
Description:Create settings both familiar and unfamiliar to you, while avoiding common missteps. You will be guided through several meditation exercises as you practice "imaginative research".
Name:Realities
Description:Setting and description works in realist and non-realist fiction, as well as across literary genres. Consider how to write about your own "primal landscape".
In this course aspiring writers will be introduced to the techniques that masters of fiction use to ground a story in a concrete world. From the most realist settings to the most fantastical, writers will learn how to describe the physical world in sharp, sensory detail. We will also learn how to build credibility through research, and to use creative meditation exercises to deepen our own understanding of our story worlds, so that our readers can see all that we imagine.
