On Saturday, September 3, 2005, Carolyn Wall discussed How to
Write What You Feel during the morning session of White County Creative Writers' 10th Annual
Writers Conference. She explored the basics for every writer, about writing and the writer - a journey to the literary
center of the self and how this leads to fiction and non-fiction.
The afternoon session was devoted
to The Most Powerful Fiction in the World - and Where it Comes From. She covered structure, characterization,
setting, conflict and resolution, and the secrets that no successful writer has ever told you.
