课程名称：展示而非叙述 概述："展示而非叙述"是我们耳熟能详的写作格言。此课程由Seth Harwood主讲，他将深入解析这个常见且可能被误解的写作原则。课程将探讨展示为何更能有效地与读者建立联系，探讨展示过度的可能性以及找到适当平衡的方法。 首先，学员将学习如何创造视觉场景，包括设定、描述以及角色在空间中的呈现，以帮助读者更好地进入故事的世界。描述不仅可以是生动有趣的，还可以推动情节发展。课程中将强调，许多作家会因担心乏味而畏惧展示，然而这种恐惧反而会扼杀更多优秀的作品。 在本课程中，学员们将制定一种过程，使他们能够在创作新作品时勇敢探索，创造出吸引人、感人和令人兴奋的场景。Seth Harwood拥有爱荷华大学作家工作坊的小说创意写作硕士学位，出版了十本书，包括畅销书《杰克觉醒》、《白天的秘密》和《人人支付》。他还在斯坦福继续教育和哈佛延伸学院教授创意写作。 课程内容包括： 第一周：设置/创建舞台 学习如何通过快速传达故事的基本信息来引导读者，同时激发紧张情节和动作。 第二周：放慢节奏 重点是从积极面出发，享受页面上的内容，而不是被无聊的恐惧引导。 第三周：动词 通过识别三种主要动词类型，学会评估写作的静态与动态。 第四周：身体对话 结合对话与动作，学习如何让角色不仅被听到，更被看到，形成展示效果的平衡。 该课程旨在帮助学员提升写作技巧，增强故事的视觉表达能力，最终连接更广泛的读者群体。
"Show, don't tell." We've all heard this dictum time and time again. Seth Harwood is here to show you what it really means to do this on the page.Show don't tell. You know the advice. You've heard it more times than you can count. But what does it really mean? And why is showing necessarily better? Is it possible to show too much? What's the right balance?Seth Harwood is here to unpack the most-heard (and possibly most misunderstood) rule of writing through exercises and examples to give you a sense of how showing establishes a strong connection between your story and your readers.Start with the creation of visual scenes: think about setting, description, and characters' bodies in space to ground your reader. What does he or she need to know to enter your story's world?Description doesn't have to be boring, drawn-out, or a dirty word. In fact, it can be fun to write, gripping, and illuminating, even capable of moving the plot forward.Sometimes writers have a fear of showing-they don't want to bore readers-but this fear actually has killed far more good writing than it has led readers to enjoy.Know what? When your reader can see your story, he or she won't want to drop the book or stop seeing what your characters do next!In this course students will develop a process that enables them to wade into the unknown of new work and create scenes that captivate, move, and thrill readers.Seth Harwood earned an MFA in Fiction from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and has gone on to publish ten books, including the bestsellers Jack Wakes Up, In Broad Daylight, and Everyone Pays. His most recent work is The Maltese Jordans, the tale of the world's rarest pair of kicks. He also teaches creative writing at Stanford Continuing Studies and Harvard Extension School.Week One: Setting / Creating the StageWhere does your scene take place? Learn how to open with a quick series of the story's "given" information to clue in readers even while you get the tension and action rolling.Week Two: Slowing it downA key tenet of "show don't tell" involves taking time to enjoy what's on the page. Here we'll learn to work from positives, what we want, instead of being guided by the fear of boring readers.Week Three: VerbsHow can you identify when your writing is static (too slow) and dynamic (showing)? Identifying three key types of verbs will give you a new tool to evaluate what you're bringing to the page.Week Four: Dialogue with Bodies!Good action scenes often have quick dialogue. Here we'll work to blend dialogue and action together so that characters are seen and not just heard. Looking at the balance here will give you another strong tool for evaluating whether you're showing or not.
