Workshop One: Character. It begins with desire and is complicated by opposing desires.
Workshop Two: Structure. How will you tell your story? From who’s point of view? How will you organize your scenes? What are your turning points? What is the throughline of your tale?
Workshop Three: Scene. We will analyze these building blocks that reveal character and advance narrative. Scenes are containers of conflict and choice, the elements that lead your reader page by page to the end. Where do you set your scene? When do you begin and end a scene?
Workshop Four: Dialogue. How to develop your ear for speech. How language reveals character. Learn the power of silence.
