Bring your characters to life on the page. When writing a novel, we must know our primary characters inside and out. We need to understand their desires, motivations, and frustrations, their histories, and their futures. This workshop will focus on the development of authentic characters. Participants will explore the main character(s) in their novels-in-progress as both autonomous and residing within the context of the other novelistic elements, while also examining the challenge of creating and integrating these various elements into a cohesive and credible whole. Participants should expect to spend 3-5 hours a week on work.
