SUMMARY:DiAnn Teaches Free Expressions' Writing Success Series Webinar
DESCRIPTION:DiAnn will be teaching a webinar on JANUARY 27\, 2022: EXPLORING THE ART OF CHARACTER as part of Free Expressions’ Winter/Spring Writing Success Series. \nHelen Keller said\, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened\, ambition inspired\, and success achieved.” This is as true for fictional characters as it is for us. \nA commitment to perfecting characterization is a writer’s ticket to devising a powerful story. Concentrating on a character with the guidelines in this workshop will encourage an organic approach and allow the story to rise from individualistic traits and life experiences. Expect to spend lots of time thinking about your protagonist and antagonist. Don’t be surprised if your characters reveal something remarkable! \nFor further details and to register\, take a look here. \nNote – Ten-percent of webinar proceeds to benefit worldcentralkitchen.org.  \nAll workshops will be held from 7:15-9:45 PM ET\, Thursday nights on Zoom.  \nConfirmation details with links to the meeting space on Zoom will be mailed out a week before the webinar. Please add FreeExpressionsSLS@gmail.com to your contacts.  \nRecordings will be sent to all participants within twenty-four hours of the webinar. \nRegistrations will be accepted up to twenty-four hours in advance of each workshop.  \nENTIRE SERIES CAN BE PURCHASED VIA PAYMENT BUTTONS OR YOU CAN PURCHASE WEBINARS INDIVIDUALLY.  \n

SUMMARY:DiAnn Teaching on The Dynamic Plotter @ ACFW Northwest GA Chapter
DESCRIPTION:DiAnn’s excited to join the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Northwest Georgia Chapter for a webinar on The Dynamic Plotter. \nLesson Description:  Plotting is unique to each writer’s personality and method of structuring a novel. Some writers are married to their outlines. Some are seat-of-the-pants writers\, and some are a mix of both. Organic writing allows the character to lead the way with a heavy emphasis on wants\, needs\, desires\, flaws\, and internal issues. No matter your method of plotting\, The Dynamic Plotter will provide tools for the writer to show not tell\, key points of each scene\, the role of goal\, conflict\, and high stakes\, and we’ll discuss point of view.
