Class Description
Everyone talks about the importance of character driven plot, but what if you're just stuck when it comes to writing your characters? In this 3-hour seminar, we'll focus on bringing your characters to life. We'll do a series of brainstorming exercises to help you understand and picture your characters so they become clearer. This class is geared towards fiction writers of all levels: beginners laying out the groundwork for their writing or more advanced writers who are polishing their drafts and want to add more depth to their characters.
