About this listen

True craft is not just technical proficiency. It is the willingness to listen to your own subconscious attention. In this session, we explore the shadow note. This is the implied emotional depth in prose that exists because of a writer’s visceral relationship with their material. We dive into the tension between a writer’s stated intentions and the older, prior attention that lingers on sensory details. It is an exploration of the emotional truth readers feel even when it isn’t explicitly stated, and how our manuscripts often tell us things we are not yet ready to hear.
