SUMMARY:Lunch Bunch - Short-Shorts with Joyce Harlow Hill
DESCRIPTION:Short short stories talk with Joyce Harlow Hill invites you into the art of telling powerful stories in just a few paragraphs. Join us for a dynamic and imaginative Lunch Bunch with Joyce\, an accomplished author and assemblage artist whose work lives at the intersection of storytelling and visual art. \nDiscover how impactful storytelling can happen in a condensed format. In this session\, Joyce explores the craft of short-short stories\, showing how even the briefest narratives can carry depth\, emotion\, and resonance. Using the timeless three-act structure—Act 1 (inciting incident)\, Act 2 (confrontation)\, and Act 3 (climax and resolution)—you’ll gain insight into how structure creates clarity and forward momentum. \nDrawing from Joseph Campbell’s storytelling philosophy\, Joyce will also introduce key elements of the Hero’s Journey\, including the call to adventure\, initiation/supreme ordeal\, transformation\, and the road back. You’ll learn how these classic frameworks can be adapted into concise\, compelling pieces that connect with readers. \nPerfect for writers\, creatives\, and anyone curious about storytelling\, this session offers inspiration and practical insight into shaping meaningful stories in a short format. \nLunch Bunch Speaker Series is an informal conversation around topics of interest to members and nonmembers. Lunch is not provided\, but you are welcome to bring your own. All are welcome. The event is free.
