SUMMARY:DiAnn Teaching 6-Week Online Workshop On The Dance of Character and Plot
DESCRIPTION:DiAnn will be teaching a 6 week online workshop with Savvy Authors based on information she’s compiled in a book with the same name THE DANCE OF CHARACTER AND PLOT.  The workshop will begin 9-4-17 and conclude 10-15-17. \nTo learn more and to register:  CLICK HERE \nOnline Workshop Description: \nRhythm\, grace\, and beauty describe a dance where two people move as one to music. They sway and whirl\, bend and lift\, and we are in awe of the performance. Perfection in fluid motion. We are entertained\, inspired\, and encouraged to be better people simply by watching the couple express the joy of their unique gift. Such is the art of writing a novel. \nThe dance of character and plot is a blend of unique steps that carry the reader away in an emotional dance. The choreography varies with the genre\, mood\, and setting of the novel. \nNovels are about strong characters who have a problem to solve. And how they grow and change in the process. \nShowing character in story means the writer weaves every literary technique in novel writing to show the character’s personality. \nThis 6 week course takes the writer on a journey of discovery. Each workshop shows the writer how to enhance characterization and plot through every step of creating a powerful story. \nOnline Workshop Syllabus: \n1.
