There are times in the lives of writers when sitting to put words on paper seems futile. What if life circumstances have us overwhelmed by grief or instability? What if we don’t trust ourselves to tell our stories? In this webinar, we will: 1) Examine writers through the ages who have found inspiration through instability. 2) Work on exercises where we take our characters to places where they must push through impossible situations, raising stakes and tension within our stories. 3) Reflect on our progress in the first part of the year and make promises to ourselves heading into the second part of 2024, with a reminder of what we can control: our productivity. A webinar with personal challenges and exercises to hone your craft.
Characters are the lifeblood of a story, but sometimes writers throw them into a tale and steer their every action—whether they like it or not! This can lead to a plot without purpose, protagonists swept away by happenstance, and a novel that chronicles events instead of showing a character grappling with a problem. In this workshop, you’ll learn how agency can help you craft stronger, more compelling stories. You'll uncover the motivations behind your characters' actions, allowing them to take control and drive the story forward, and ultimately, craft better characters, stronger plots, and tighter pacing.
