People rarely feel only one emotion at a time. How do you show a complex emotional landscape without chucking your character’s emotions in a blender and dumping the resulting feelings-soup in your readers’ laps? This workshop will experiment with strategies to layer multiple emotions in your writing. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss a few examples, try a couple exercises, and share techniques with each other.
