Class is live

Today’s prompt

How does a writer move from mere event to meaningful story?

Live notes

Story is not just what happened.
Story is shaped experience.

Ask of every passage:
What changes?
What matters?
What is felt, not merely reported?

Look for concrete detail, sequence, pressure, and voice.
