WRITING SEX WELL - WITH LAURA PRITCHETT WHEN: 15 August, 2009 @ 1:30 PM
WHERE: Virginia Village Branch Library at 1500 S. Dahlia St., Denver.
 Sex is not always good, but it’s always revealing! Whether it’s fantastic, boring, strange, or predictable, sex is one of the most powerful unions and sensations we experience, and it shouldn’t be skipped or avoided in writing. On the other hand, a sex scene shouldn’t be included unless it serves a purpose, which is to illustrate the characters and the larger themes of the work. This workshop will introduce and explore some ideas about writing sex well – how to direct an honest gaze at this most fascinating activity.
