Class: Crafting Characters Online Workshop (again!)

-

If you missed my character class in April, I will be teaching it again on Saturday, May 22th from 4 pm - 5:30 pm EST/1 pm - 2:30 pm PST. It is a free virtual workshop with SCRiB LAB on Crafting Characters.

Class Description: Characters drive the movement in any story. This workshop will explore this through prompts and questions meant to drive into understanding your character. What are their motivations, wants, fears? How they act and react in the situations you are placing them in? Then explore how this fits into the plotting process.

Sign up here and check out other upcoming workshops and virtual writing halls SCRiB LAB is hosting here!
