SUMMARY:(Wet Ink) Creating Novel Characters
DESCRIPTION: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 examine character as both autonomous and residing within the context of the other novelistic elements\, and we will examine the challenge of creating and integrating these various elements into a cohesive and credible whole. Participants will explore the main character(s) in their novels-in-progress.
