If you want to write a novel, you need to consider setting (who, where, when), fact or fiction, plot, theme, style, first or third person, character development, use of dialogue, climax, and denouement. Do you understand the relative importance of these elements? Suppose you wish to write a short story instead. How would you use these elements differently? Which ones would you emphasize or perhaps omit? How does the brevity of a short story affect these choices? There are several other forms of writing, such as poetry, essays, nonfiction, and autobiographies. Come join us at Creative Writing Club meetings to share your ideas in a friendly setting, and listen to the writings and opinions of others. You will find this very stimulating. | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | DECEMBER 2023 | 37 The Sun Lakes Art League and all its members send out a great big thank you to all those who made this year's Art Walk the hit that it was. We had folks not only from Sun Lakes, but from all over this area come to appreciate our artists' talents. Families from Riverside, Orange County, and even some from Los Angeles came to enjoy our festivities. We are extremely grateful and we hope you all come back next year. Thank you all! If you missed it, you missed a lot! Joe, who specializes in landscapes and buildings, was especially popular. Shirley brought her collection of clay tile art which this year focused on an array of blues and black and white contrast. We hope she sold many. Aurora demonstrated her skill and mastery in abstract art. She also likes landscapes and nature.
