About this course:
Pets often provide writers support through their physical presence. However, pets can actually make writers better writers with the help of meditation and AI. This workshop applies meditation techniques to help map the personality of your pet. It then walks you through how to teach ChatGPT to function as an artificial voice box for that map and allow conversations directly with your pet. Finally, it applies the principles learned from this exercise of articulating a voice that is very different from your own into practical craft lessons for writing better dialogue for all sorts of characters. The presence of the writer’s own pet at the workshop is highly encouraged.
Enrollment opens two weeks prior to the event. Enrollment limited. Visitors not permitted.
Along with Mr. Lien, this workshop is taught by Jerry Lee Davis, author/playwright who has over 20 years’ experience teaching meditation and working with animal organizations such as Best Friends. Internet access required.
