700 Allegheny River Blvd,Oakmont PA 15139

17 September, 2022

Description

Timons Esaias is a satirist, fictionator, and poet. His works have appeared in 22 languages, on at least one planet. In his most infamous talk, based on an equally infamous essay, Tim will try to inoculate you against the nods, smiles, POV expressions, clenched jaws, anachronisms, Vanilla Verb-Pairs and other "bobble-headisms" that can choke your prose to death, and poison your chances for a sale. He'll also address the Moon Muddle and raise the Pack Animal Question. This talk will be the bane of your bad habits, and a guide for your good ones. Join us for a brown bag lunch social hour at noon. The workshop begins at 1:00.
