Have you considered your \ncharacter’s love language\, lies he/she believes\, sacrifices\, self-preservation behaviors\, and more? \nExploring the Art of Plotting \nPlotting is an art\, a skillful expression of a writer’s creativity and imagination. It’s aesthetic and \nevocative\, and it invokes powerful emotions through the action of three-dimensional characters \nwho strive to achieve a goal. This workshop shows the writer the essentials of the beginning\, \nmiddle\, and ending with always an emphasis that story trumps structure. This hands-on class \nshows the writer how to skillfully plot\, and the techniques apply for pantsers or outliners. \nExploring the Art of Emotion and Dialogue \nEvery word\, action\, reaction\, and internal thought breathes emotion. Feeling makes us human\, \nhelps us communicate and analyze life. Our characters process emotions based on their \npersonality\, career\, culture\, backstory\, education\, relationships\, and life experiences. Exceptional \ndialogue occurs when character interactions become a war zone where the verbal and nonverbal \nexchange explodes into action and emotional turmoil. This hands-on workshop shows how to \nwrite dialogue with emotion that is unique\, fresh\, and exciting\, and always builds tension.
