Rhythm Writing
Gloria Estefan famously warned, “The rhythm is gonna get you.” Take her seriously. It will. We can’t help but tap our feet, nod our heads, or do a little jig when a favorite song plays. It moves us. That rhythm drags us into the world of that song whether we want to go or not. Did you know that rhythm in your prose can do the same? It’s in there, woven in with the syllables and punctuation and word choices. We may not tap our feet while reading James Patterson, but, then again, maybe we do. Find out how to create your own rhythm and get your readers on the dance floor for the time of their life.

About The Speaker
Tara Lynn Thompson
Tara Lynn Thompson’s unconventional approach to writing combines the brilliance of simplicity and the delight of the unexpected. She is passionate about telling stories in a way that feels relatable, while satisfyingly unpredictable. Her words have been quoted in The Washington Times, Fox Business, AOL News, and others, while her distinctive advertising copy has been used in multi-million dollar fundraising campaigns, popular product packaging, entertaining speeches, and dynamic commercials, all of which have earned her numerous Addys, and an Emmy. She also works as an adjunct writing professor, private teacher, frequent speaker, and is the author of The Another Series trilogy.
With more than 20 years of published writing, Tara Lynn has won numerous prestigious awards, which she hasn’t kept track of because “it isn’t even a little interesting,” she explains. With little prompting, however, she will tell you about that time Dean Koontz responded to her fan letter.
“Now that’s a great story.”
