Essentials of Writing: Resonance
Summary
Resonant writing uses repetition without saying the same thing twice. Symbolic images deepen theme, recurring behaviors provide insight into character, while structural repetition such as the second murder in a mystery can ratchet up tension. The trick: each reiteration must introduce something new. We’ll look at successful examples in published work, and you’ll take away tips for creating story worlds rich with connection. All levels and genres welcome.
