Making Your Characters Come to Life

 

Creating and developing real, three-dimensional characters. Who are your characters? What do you know about them? What do they know about themselves? What do they want? How are you going to keep it from them? Why?

 

This workshop takes student writers through a series of activities designed to help them write characters who feel real to the reader.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1610660413524{margin-right: 150px !important;margin-left: 150px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1610660360630{margin-right: 75px !important;margin-left: 75px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”354″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Characters and Conflict

 

Without conflict, there is no story. This workshop takes students through the development of internal and external conflict and how it connects to characterization, plot and theme. May be combined with the character development workshop for a fuller learning experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1610660413524{margin-right: 150px !important;margin-left: 150px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1610660360630{margin-right: 75px !important;margin-left: 75px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”353″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

The Best Stories Are in the Revision Process

 

Revision matters. This workshop takes students through the revision process, including word choice, POV, verb tense, pacing, paragraphing, scene development and organization, allowing writers to see the choices they have in storytelling.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1610660413524{margin-right: 150px !important;margin-left: 150px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#000000″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
