Across seven structured sections, this workbook guides you from the foundational ethics of witnessing through the craft mechanics of sentence-level precision and honest endings. You will interrogate sentimentality, write characters who grieve 'incorrectly,' examine how power shapes who is allowed to mourn publicly, and draft multiple endings before choosing the one the scene has actually earned.
Designed for A4 printing and GoodNotes annotation, with generous ruled lines for each exercise and follow-up micro-prompts that push your thinking deeper. Warm cream pages, elegant typography — a writing companion built for serious, thoughtful work at the desk or in a coffee shop.
