Home is where our stories begin. This 4-part workshop is designed to help writers create fictional characters who are complex, compelling, and believable. We'll work with what I call “the family album,” a portrait of those people who shaped the worldview of each primary character in your story.
Throughout the four weeks, we will:
1. Explore how family dynamics can influence a character's needs, goals, and fears.
2. Understand how character development leads to plot.
3: See how a character's self-identifying statement can be used to generate conflict; and,
4. Learn how a character's needs, goals, and fears can be used to create a meaningful resolution to the conflict.
This class will use a lot of visuals. It is best for writers who are not restricted to audio-only access.
