RECORDING: TENSION AND DESIRE: HOW YOUR CHARACTERS’ DEEPEST LONGINGS MAKE FOR PAGE-TURNING FICTION WITH LORIN OBERWEGER
In this class, we’ll explore the landscape of internal and external goals, overarching desires, emotional wounds, and unacknowledged longings. We’ll parse their different functions and explore how they can best be employed on a scene-by-scene and page-by-page basis. We’ll also discuss when desires should be made overt to the reader and when they should operate in sub-text. Additionally, we’ll work with desire as a tool for creating tension, building apprehension and investment via dialogue, exposition, internal monologue, and more. Prepare for some hands-on work during this class!
