April 20, 2024–TPS Workshop–What Makes Writing Flow? by A.D. Nauman
April 20 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT
What Makes Writing Flow?
What do we mean when we talk about “flow”? “Flow” is a function of grammar, word choice, and transitional language, but it also connects to readers’ expectations. In this class, we’ll analyze a variety of texts for flow and tackle the big question of when, if ever, authors might intentionally disrupt it.
