It's time for our 2nd Gen Lit Clinic!
To anyone who isn't familiar with it, Gen Lit Clinic is an open pad discussion where everyone brings a question or two related to the topic and everybody pitches in and tries to find answers to each other's problems! This month's topic is 'Symbols'.
Symbols are words, images, people, locations, objects, etc. that represent an abstract idea, i.e. something that goes beyond the literal meaning of what is being presented. Symbols can be recurring, general or specific to your story. They are an exciting and innovative way to add depth and richness to your stories as they allow the readers to introspect and attach their own meaning to a seemingly insignificant object or idea.
If you want to incorporate symbols in your story or are confused about intended and unintended symbols, how to identify them or make them work in the long term, this discussion might just help you!
Gen Lit Clinic will take place on: 05/06/2023 21:30 EDT
The pad link will be posted here and in the People's Tab, so keep an eye out for that!
